Allegro’s two new magnetic current sensors enhance system efficiency and protection compared to discrete shunt-based current sensing circuits. The ACS37220 measures current up to 200 A, while the ...
For anyone designing DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies, or the system around it, understanding the power supply’s operation under both the best and worst conditions is important. The load of the ...
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 ...
Two of the top considerations in data center and server power-supply unit (PSU) designs are power density and efficiency. Meeting the strictest efficiency standard—80 Plus Titanium—is now a minimum ...
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 ...
Electrification has created a new paradigm in automotive power systems; whether the design is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or fully electric vehicle (EV), there are new design challenges to address ...
