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 ...

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 ...

In this installment of the back-to-basics electronic component series, in partnership with EDN, we cover current sensors. Don’t miss our discussion with Michael DiGangi, executive vice president of ...

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 importance of voltage drop in current sensing. High-accuracy current sensing hinges on the ADC. Specs and other features of the new isolated ADC. Current sensing is critical for enabling overload ...

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 ...

Vishay has introduced a precision isolation amplifier with 5kVrms isolation test voltage and 150kV/μs typical (100kV/μs min) common-mode transient immunity: VIA0050DD. “Isolation amplifiers in the VIA ...
