Current sensing is on a trajectory to intersect with the global high-voltage trend of robust, high-performing systems. Discover the tradeoffs between isolated shunt-based, closed-loop Hall-effect, and ...

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 ...

As power electronics switching techniques advance, there is an increased need to accurately measure current for feedback control and system monitoring. There are several methods to achieve this, and ...

Two similar families of precision, analog-output current sensors use the Hall effect to measure tens of amps with low drift and high linearity while providing 3-kVrms galvanic isolation. Current ...

A new range of automotive-qualified current sensors is addressing the growing need for accurate, isolated current measurement ...

Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

Hall-effect magnetic field sensors measure ac and bidirectional dc with a minimum 800-V isolation. The ACS704 comes in a 1.7-mm-high SOIC8 package and is available in both 5 and 15-A versions.
