Vehicle electrification efforts such as start/stop systems put addition strain on the battery. To keep the battery in optimal condition, system designers need to measure and monitor the battery’s state of health (SOH), state of charge (SOC) or state of function (SOF). ZMD AG’s ZSSC1856 Intelligent Battery Sensor IC performs these functions and more. The […]

Digital Output DC Current Sensor Avoids Sampling and A/D Converter Circuitry
Typical current sensing techniques that use a Hall Effect sensor or a resistive shunt deliver an analog output that requires additional circuitry for use in digital control circuits. Micro Oscillator Inc. has introduced an isolated high-side DC current sensor that provides a uni-directional current sensing system with a frequency output. The pulsed output of the […]
DC Transducers for Current Applications up to 400A
The DCT series of DC current transducers combines a Hall Effect sensor and signal conditioner into a single package for use in DC current applications up to 400A. Designed to be compatible with most PLCs, data loggers and SCADA systems, the DCT series features jumper-selectable current input ranges and industry standard 4-20 mA or +/- […]
