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 ...

In various industries and applications, it’s crucial to monitor the current and frequency of devices in real-time. These ...

The Allegro ACS716 current sensor provides economical and precise means for current sensing applications in industrial, commercial, and communications systems. The device is offered in a small ...

There’s many different ways of measuring current. If it’s DC, the easiest way is to use a shunt resistor and measure the voltage across it, and for AC you could use a current transformer. But the ...

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.

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 ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

Infineon and Swoboda are developing current sensor modules for automotive traction inverters and battery management systems. The deal combines Infineon’s sensor ICs with Swoboda’s expertise in sensor ...

ABB has launched its latest generation Fiber Optic Current Sensor (FOCS-FS) to complement its portfolio of optical sensors. The FOCS-FS gets its name from its ‘free standing’ design. A salient feature ...

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 ...
