New high accuracy current sensors based on AMR technology

ACEINNA has released its new MCx1101 family of ±5A, ±20A, and ±50A Current Sensors for industrial and power supply applications. Claimed to be the first high accuracy wide bandwidth AMR-based current sensors on the market, units and evaluation boards are now available. “Our new integrated, AMR based Current Sensor family provides the best performance for the price in the industry,” says Khagendra Thapa, VP Current Sensor Product for ACEINNA. “There are other AMR based current sensing solutions on the market, but they require a great deal of integration to make them work. Ours are plug and play.” The family are fully integrated, bi-directional current sensors that provide much higher DC accuracy and dynamic range in comparison with similar solutions. For example, the ±20A version has a typical accuracy of ±0.6% and are guaranteed to deliver an accuracy of ±2.0% (max) at 85C.
