Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced a new Hall-effect current sensor for hybrid and electric vehicle traction inverter ...

TI claims to be first to bring out a multiaxial coreless Hall-effect current sensor designed for all hybrid electric vehicle and electric vehicle (HEV/EV) traction inverter applications.

Coreless current sensing presents traction-inverter engineers with a mechanical contradiction: removing a magnetic core can ...

The coreless Hall-effect sensor, dubbed TMCS2100-Q1, measures the magnetic field in two axes — horizontal and vertical — ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Hall-effect sensors exploit the transverse voltage generated when a constant current passes through a semiconductor in the presence of a magnetic field. Integration of these devices in standard CMOS ...

LEM has introduced the LA 130-150 series of current transducers for use in motor drives, inverters, power supplies, and general industrial applications. These PCB-mounted (printed-circuit board) ...

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 ...
