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 ...

Supertex has released a current sensing IC, the HV7800, for use in high-side current sensing topologies. Supertex (www.supertex.com), a developer of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs), ...

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 ...

Melexis has added a thermistor input to two of its combined current and voltage sensors. MLX91230KDC-BBC-200-RE is a ±512mT Hall-based sensor and comes in an SOIC8 MLX91231KGO-BBC-000-RE is a -100mV ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...
