As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, demand increases for electronic components that support advanced, efficient and clean technologies. Current sensors play an important role in this ...

The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

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 ...

Usually, when you need to sense something in a project, the answers are straightforward. Want to sense air temperature? There’s a sensor for that. Particulate content in the air? There’s a sensor for ...

MANCHESTER, N.H., Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro”) (Nasdaq: ALGM), a global leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy-efficient ...

Efficiency and power density are persistent challenges in high-current applications, particularly as systems become more ...

In machinery design, component flexibility is a key factor in determining what parts are used. The wider range of applicability a device offers, the more options it gives to the OEM. Designed for OEMs ...

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 ...

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 ...

Melexis has added the MLX91231, a shunt-based sensing automotive current sensor for IVT (current, voltage, and temperature) and a digital microcontroller (MCU). The sensor is designed to measure low ...
