Bourns announced the expansion of its SSD Digital Current Sensor Series to include an internal 120 Ω termination resistor option. This enhancement is now available for both CANbus and RS-485 interface versions, offering engineers a streamlined solution for improved signal integrity and communication reliability.

The integrated 120 Ω resistor is designed to provide impedance matching and minimize signal reflections, which are critical for maintaining robust data transmission—especially in high-speed or long-distance applications. By embedding the termination resistor directly into the sensor’s PCB, Bourns simplifies system design and reduces the need for external components, helping to lower overall system cost and complexity.
 
Key Features of the Bourns SSD Digital Current Sensor Series:

    Internal 120 Ω Termination Resistor: Enhances signal integrity and prevents communication errors.
    High Accuracy and Stability: Ideal for demanding industrial and automotive environments.
    Wide Operating Temperature Range: -40 °C to +115 °C.
    Reinforced Galvanic Isolation: 1500 VDC for safety and reliability.
    Advanced Signal Processing: 16-bit microcontroller rated to +150 °C, 24-bit ADC with buffered analog inputs.
    ECC Flash Memory: Built-in error correction for enhanced data integrity.

The SSD series is available in nominal current ratings of 100 A, 250 A, and 500.
