Abstract We have developed a printed circuit board Rogowski coil for monitoring of current and protection of high-voltage power modules and packages. It is small, thin, and inexpensive current sensor and is almost the ideal Rogowski coil because of its fishbone pattern. For noise reduction under high-voltage/-current conditions in a module, shield layers and coaxial connector are employed. In addition, a new, fast simulation tool was developed to optimize the main coil pattern for realization of arbitrary printed circuit board geometry in specific, limited spaces.
