Melexis has announced two new current sense ICs based upon Hall-effect technology.<\/p>\n
Both of the new sensors share the same high-performance CMOS core and the MLX91217 implements conventional Hall technology, while the MLX91216 uses Melexis<\/a><\/span>\u2019 Integrated Magneto Concentrator (IMC).<\/p>\n Both devices are aimed at automotive applications, in particular inverter phase current monitoring and DC-link monitoring applications where Hall-effect has been the preferred solution for more than a decade.<\/p>\n As well as traction motor control, the devices are also suited to other embedded applications such as DCDC converters and battery junction boxes or any application that requires high speed, fast response or highly accurate (over)current measurement.
