Hall-effect transducer from Micronas to measure current

Micronas unveiled its Hall-effect transducer CUR 3105. The CUR 3105 targets applications, such as battery monitoring e.g. in hybrid / electrical cars, DC-DC converters, start-stop-systems or metering systems.

CUR 3105 can measure current in the mA range using a flux concentrator and currents in the 100A range can be measured without flux concentrator. Its operating magnetic field range can be adjusted from ±30 to ±100 mT. Various parameters can be programmed and the values can be stored on a reliable on-chip EEPROM. It is also available in a SOIC8 package and in a solderable and weldable TO92UT package. It can operate in a wide temperature range from 40 to 170°C. Open-circuit detection, over- and undervoltage detection are some of the characteristics of the CUR3105

Package: SOIC8, solderable and weldable TO92UT

Price: Ranges from 1.30 to 1.50 Euros for quantities below 10k units.

Availability: Samples in July 2010
