Current sense amplifier enhances precision measurement
STMicroelectronics has announced its latest generation of high side current sensing ICs, targeting power management and motor control applications.
The TSC1021 single chip amplifier is designed to simplify the design of accurate measurement circuitry in electronic control units. It leverages ST's high voltage manufacturing process and provides a common mode operating range between 2.8 and 30V.
"The TSC1021 will provide an unmatched price/performance proposition, suitable for a number of important markets," claimed Alberto De Marco, general manager, Power and MEMS group. "In addition to numerous consumer and automotive opportunities, it will also be chosen for smart power management in equipment such as wireless base stations and computer servers."
ST says the device can withstand a range of -32 to 60V on its input pins without damage. Other features include high temperature stability and immunity to electromagnetic interface.
