Giant magnetoresistive sensor in conductance control of switching regulators

The objective of the present work is to use sensors based on the giant magnetoresistance effect to measure the current generated by a switched mode power supply (SMPS). The sensor is placed within a conductance control loop and its properties influence the dynamic properties of the system. Experimental results are also presented.
