Motor drive applications with totem pole outputs often only need to sense current in the low side switch(es) of their phase(s). Including a shunt and an amplifier is a simple and obvious solution, and ...

Melexis has brought out the latest variant from its IMC-Hall current sensor – the MLX91218 Low Field (LF). The MLX91218-LF is designed for lower current applications (below 100 A). It enables smart ...

Resistor-based current sensing is simple, easy to use, low cost, extremely linear and requires no calibration. The statement that voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...
