When tasked with a current sensing requirement, designers typically look first to using dedicated resistors designed for this task. Occasionally though there is the temptation to consider sensing ...

The buck converter is the most common power supply topology and power engineers are well-versed in its strengths and weakness. One of the challenges in any power system design is the current sensing.

Although there are several ways to sense current flowing from a source such as a battery, or to a load such as a motor, the current-sense resistor is among the most widely used approaches. There are ...

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro”), a global leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy-efficient systems, today introduced the ACS37017, a new Hall-effect current sensor ...
