Patent ID: 8664946

Claim:
A sensor package comprising: a lead frame having a first portion extending in a direction along a first longitudinal axis, and a second portion extending in a direction inclined to the first longitudinal axis, wherein the first portion includes a die pad; an application specific integrated circuit, which is mounted to the die pad; a magneto resistive sensor and a ferrite, which are mounted to the second portion, wherein the ferrite is mounted directly on the second portion and the magneto resistive sensor is mounted on top of the ferrite in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis; a plurality of fingers made of conducting material for providing an electrical connection between the magneto resistive sensor and the application specific integrated circuit, the plurality of fingers are electrically isolated from the die pad; a moulding body including a first moulding portion and a second moulding portion, the first moulding portion covering the second portion of the lead frame, the magneto resistive sensor, the ferrite, and the second moulding portion covering the die pad, the application specific integrated circuit, wherein the moulding body is a moulded one-piece body.
