Can current-sensor ICs win out against the shunt resistor and other passive components? Check out some of the latest offerings on the market in this Products of the Week gallery. For any electronic ...

Featuring DC to 5-MHz bandwidth, Allegro MicroSystems' galvanically isolated, high-accuracy magnetic current-sensor IC with zero current reference (ACS37030), and overcurrent fault with internal pull ...

Inrush currents arise when iron-core power transformers are energised under no-load conditions, producing transient peaks many times greater than the rated current. These surges stem from magnetic ...

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 ...

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 ...
