Most of the Allegro unidirectional current sensor ICs are trimmed such that the zero ampere output is at 0.1 × VCC. This application note documents a simple operational amplifier circuit which can be ...

As an expansion of its XENSIV current magnetic current sensor family, the new sensors are housed in a 300-mil package.

As power electronics switching techniques advance, there is an increased need to accurately measure current for feedback control and system monitoring. There are several methods to achieve this, and ...

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 ...

Eddy current displacement sensors (ECDS) represent a mature, yet continuously evolving, non-contact measurement technology that utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an ...

To ensure stability at high belt speeds, inductive eddy current sensors are employed within electromagnetic strip ...

Fieldbuses generally replaced the 4- to 20-mA current-output sensors commonly used in older process automation installations. HART is yet another fieldbus technology, but it has the advantage of ...

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 ...

DW Series round metal inductive proximity sensors with analog outputs are now available from AutomationDirect in 8mm, 12mm, 18mm and 30mm cylindrical sizes. These reliable DC-powered (10-30V or 15-30V ...

The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...
