A range of manufacturing and production processes rely on current-operated relays to provide a continuously adjustable trip-current setting. They are able to protect mechanical apparatus from jam-up ...

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. has introduced the new high-precision Bulk Metal® Foil Burden through-hole resistor. Vishay Precision Group, Inc. announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors product line ...

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 ...

The latest trends in personal electronics put a lot of pressure on the designers of embedded systems. When it comes to consumer and medical wearables, advanced personal electronics, and the IoT, the ...

In designing dc/dc converters, one of your options is the CMC (current-mode-control) method. PCMC (peak CMC) offers some well-known benefits as well as drawbacks. When compared with VMC (voltage-mode ...

Fluxgate current sensors have emerged as a robust technology for the measurement of both alternating and direct currents, harnessing the non-linear magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic materials.

The best place to measure current consumption is in the main power feed. The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary ...
