The best place to measure current consumption is in the main power feed. The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary ...

As systems extend and expand the exploitation of the latest power semiconductors (IGBTs, MCTs, etc.) that manifest the very relentless advance in power output limits, a prerequisite (and parallel) ...

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 ...

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 ...
