Latest 3W current-sense resistor is AEC-Q200 qualified

The CSSH2512 from Stackpole is a new 3W current sense chip that has now been qualified to AEC-Q200. The CSSH2512 offers resistance values from 0.5 milliohm up to 10 milliohm in tolerances as tight as 0.5% and TCR as low as 25 ppm. Because of the all-metal construction, the CSSH2512 can handle up to 134A for up to 5 seconds with less than 0.5% resistance shift.

This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of power supply and motor control applications where high power to size ratio is critical including LED Lighting, and automotive electronics and controls, says the company.
