The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

Whether you're a seasoned analog designer or a digital expert who's just getting your toes wet in the deep waters of power electronics, you'll find something of value in Texas Instruments' latest ...

A range of manufacturing and production processes rely on current-operated relays to provide a continuously adjustable trip-current setting. They are able to protect mechanical apparatus from jam-up ...

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 ...

Designing a sensing application involves circuitry for amplification of a sensor signal, its conditioning and, in most cases, conversion into digital form. This is achieved conventionally by using ...
