STMicroelectronics’ latest high-side switches, the IPS2050H, and the IPS2050H-32 permit two programmable current-limit values for smart driving of capacitive loads that draw high startup current. These new dual-channel switches have an input-voltage range from 8V to 60V and can withstand up to 65V on the input pin, ensuring flexibility and robust performance in industrial applications. The integrated power MOSFET […]
Four-terminal shunts provide precision current sensing
Low resistance values are important for high-efficiency current sensing because lower values mean less wasted power on the current sensing measurement itself. But sensing low resistance values accurately becomes challenging because of lead resistance errors. Using a four-terminal shunt resistor eliminates the detrimental effects of lead resistance on the current sensing measurement operation. The HCSK1216 provides […]
