Today, a wide variety of industrial and automotive applications are demanding higher efficiency which impacts many design decisions including the current sensing requirements. The demands
Dear Valued Customer: We are very pleased to inform you that today Crocus Technology, Inc. (“Crocus”) has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by
There was a time Shunt solutions were considered the safe choice in sensor technology. But the world has changed. The days of trying to piece together inexpensive shunt architectures is over. As accuracy requirements continue to increase, traditional shunt solutions lose cost-effectiveness, as total solution costs increase dramatically.
Current Sensing for Electric Vehicles
Since the current required to propel an EV can be in the order of 100’s of amps, current measurement can present a challenge for safety, accuracy, and thermal management. This article discusses current measurement techniques with an introduction to a new magneto-resistive sense technology.
Sensor technology company Crocus Technology has announced a new line of contactless current sensors it says have a signal-to-noise ratio as high as 77 dB and the capacity to measure currents between 500 mA and 1,800 A.
