Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has announced the launch of two new current sensor integrated circuits (ICs), the ACS37030MY and the ACS37220MZ, designed for automotive, industrial, and consumer ...

As systems extend and expand the exploitation of the latest power semiconductors (IGBTs, MCTs, etc.) that manifest the very relentless advance in power output limits, a prerequisite (and parallel) ...

The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...

Sensing of current going to a load is a critical and often mandatory requirement in many designs. While there are many contact and non-contact ways to accomplish this sensing, such as using ...

A single-supply, 2.7- ~ 5.5-V, SOT25/SOT26 device from Diodes Inc. features an input common-mode range of up to 26 V. Devices are available to sense unidirectional and bidirectional current. The ...

Check out Electronic Design's coverage of embedded world 2024. In some applications, the current can flow into the load in both directions. In these cases, a bidirectional amp is often employed due to ...

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 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 ...
