The ACS764 fully integrated Hall-effect current sensor IC is designed for applications that require digital current sensing and reporting through an I2C™ bus. Allegro factory programming of the offset ...

This application note provides techniques and background information about how a low cost, contact less current sensor can be built with the MLX91206. The sensor has no upper limit to the level of ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC introduces the first digital current sensor IC targeted at server, telecom, and power monitoring current sensor IC applications within the industrial, consumer and computer ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

Allegro MicroSystems today announced three ICs: two analogue current sensors and a motor driver for fans. The first current sensor, ACS37630, is designed to be sat on top of a bus bar and partly ...

Isolation in this case, is from the mains, and it transpires that finding something that will do the job safely is tricky. Three isolated Hall-based current sensing modules are easy to obtain, as far ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Use of 4-to-20-mA current loops involves more than just a simple series connection between sensor, display, and power supply. The point where a sensor takes a measurement is, at times, many yards away ...

History has shown that advancements in materials science and engineering have been important drivers in the development of sensor technologies. For instance, the temperature sensitivity of electrical ...
