Texas Instruments: High-Voltage Precision with New Current Sensors

Texas Instruments (TI) has announced a range of cutting-edge current sensors designed to simplify engineering designs and deliver higher accuracy. This latest product lineup comprises the TMCS1123 and the EZShunt product series, catering to a broad spectrum of common-mode voltage and temperature designs, along with the current-sharing monitor product range, ensuring precise control for power conversion, optimization of system efficiency, and safeguarding.

TI emphasizes that when engineers choose current sensing solutions, they consider four pivotal factors: cost, size, accuracy, and speed. The TMCS1123, a Hall-effect current sensor, offers simplicity and precision for high-voltage systems, while TI provides the EZShunt product series for non-isolated systems operating at voltages of up to 85V and currents of 75ARMS.

These innovative products showcase TI's extensive sensing technology, effectively addressing diverse design challenges across various systems. For example, the TMCS1123's high accuracy and low propagation delay empower designers to utilize Hall-effect sensors in high-voltage systems that were previously deemed impractical, resulting in reduced system costs and a smaller footprint.

As the demand for highly accurate current measurement continues to grow in high-voltage applications, such as electric vehicle chargers and solar inverters, TI's product offerings evolve accordingly. They offer stability while withstanding high voltages, eliminating the need for equipment recalibration. This ensures that engineering professionals have access to reliable, cutting-edge solutions to meet the evolving demands of their projects.
