Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

The newest current sensor family from Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., the ACS704, is the first SOIC8-packaged Hall-effect current sensor with the current path integrated into the package for greater ...

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 ...

Allegro MicroSystems Inc. has introduced the ACS704 family of Hall-effect magnetic field sensors in SOIC8 packaging, with the current path integrated into the package for better sensitivity and ...

The ACS704 Hall-effect current sensor integrates the current path in a SOIC8 package. Available in both 15- and 5-A versions, it measures bi-directional ac or dc currents by using a Hall-effect ...

Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

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 ...

DALLAS, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TXN), a leader in advanced sensing technologies, today debuted new current sensors to help engineers simplify their designs while improving ...

DALLAS, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN), a leader in advanced sensing technologies, today debuted new current sensors to help engineers simplify their designs while ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds deceptively simple. There’s a metal plate with current flowing across it in one ...
