AEC-Q100 automotive qualified current sensors for your electric vehicle design

Though lot of applications use simple way of DC current measurement by connecting low resistance shunt resistor in series with the circuit for which current needs to be measured. For measuring AC currents, current Transformers is one of the simple and older option. To achieve electrical isolation, non-intrusiveness, to save space, to save power, unnecessary heat production, increased safety and to expand the range of current measurement, there are new ways of measuring current. Since flowing electric current produces magnetism, the magnetism-based current sensors are the best, reliable, and safe choice. Magnetic base current sensors offer all the above said advantages but when it comes to accuracy only a particular type of magnetic sensors achieve higher accuracy than shunt resistor type current sensing. Here in this article we are providing you some of the reliable and leading magnetic current sensor products for Electric Vehicles(EV) : 1. CFS1000 from Sensitec: This AEC-Q100 qualified automotive grade programmable sensor from Sensitec is based on anisotropic magnetoresistance effect can measure wide DC, AC, and pulsed current in the range of 10 A to 1000 A and bandwidth up to 500 kilo hertz. This compact device packs AMR sensor chip, two bias magnets and a signal conditioning application-specific analog chip. CFS1000 contactless current sensor features high...
