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 ...

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 ...

Most of the Allegro unidirectional current sensor ICs are trimmed such that the zero ampere output is at 0.1 × VCC. This application note documents a simple operational amplifier circuit which can be ...

There’s many different ways of measuring current. If it’s DC, the easiest way is to use a shunt resistor and measure the voltage across it, and for AC you could use a current transformer. But the ...

Eddy current displacement sensors (ECDS) represent a mature, yet continuously evolving, non-contact measurement technology that utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Some photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and rotary encoders generate a digital dc output called a push-pull signal. The external environment activates the sensor, which, in turn, closes a ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...
