Abstract

A magnetic field sensor for measuring at least two components of a magnetic field comprises a ferromagnetic core mounted on a semiconductor chip, an exciter coil to which a current can be applied and two read-out sensors. The ferromagnetic core is ring-shaped. The exciter coil is preferably formed from conductor tracks of the semiconductor chip and from bonding wires.
