Minisens

IC packaged transducer for isolated current measurement

Main characteristics:

  • Miniature
  • IC SO8 packaging for SMD automatic assembly
  • Non-contact AC&DC current measurement of up to 70A and higher
  • Attractive low price
  • Isolated measurement
  • Unlimited possible application designs
  • High performance gain and offset thermal drifts
  • 5 years warranty
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to +115°C (125°C with derating)

Features:

  • Open Loop Hall effect technology
  • Magnetic circuit integrated into the IC
  • No insertion losses
  • DC to 100 kHz
  • +5V power supply
  • Voltage output with high sensitivity
  • Access to voltage reference
  • Standby mode pin
  • Additional fast output for short circuit detection (response time of less than 3ms)  

Standard compliance:

  • EN50178 for industrial applications such as:
       White goods: washing machines, for motors control and energy savings
       Air conditioning
       Garage door opener / windows shutters / threshold detection / overcurrent fault protection
       Battery supplied applications
       Power supplies such as UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies)
