A current sensing apparatus, and a
magnetic modulation method. The current sensing apparatus comprises: a
magnetic core (110), wherein a conductor which carries a current
signal under test passes through the
magnetic core (110); a secondary coil (120), which is wound on the
magnetic core (110); a sampling
resistor (130), which is connected in series to the secondary coil (120), and is used for providing a sampling
voltage signal which corresponds to an
excitation current; an excitation
control circuit (140), which is connected to the sampling
resistor (130), and is used for generating a floating flip threshold
signal on the basis of the sampling
voltage signal, and outputting an excitation polarity
signal on the basis of a comparison result of the sampling
voltage signal with the floating flip threshold signal; and an excitation
driving circuit (150), which is connected to the excitation
control circuit (140) and the secondary coil (120), and is used for flipping the polarity of an excitation driving
signal on the basis of the excitation polarity signal output by the excitation
control circuit (140), such that the magnetic core (110) oscillates between a positive saturation point and a negative saturation point. The
magnetic modulation effect in which the precision is high, the
power consumption is low and a
frequency response is good is obtained by means of a relatively
simple circuit.
