50 to 200 A Integrated Conductor Sensor ICs

ACS756 Fully Integrated Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor

“The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction path located near the die. Applied current flowing through this copper conduction path generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated Hall IC and converted into a proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer.”

TDK Lambda - SMPS UPS Power Supply Specialist

TDK Lambda – SMPS UPS Power Supply Specialist “Switching power supplies are power supplies switched by high-speed semiconductor switches. They are the most common type of compact, lightweight, high-efficiency power supply. Uninterruptible power systems (UPS) are backup power supplies that use a built-in battery to stably supply continuous clean power to connected devices when the regular supply power shuts down due to a power failure or other power problem. TDK-Lambda offers both these types of power supplies”. CME150-24 – Single output AC-DC converter 150 – TDK Lambda Features Include Leakage current 0.3mA or less (at 265VAC) EMI/EMS class B approved.
