    Non-Contact Sensing Provides Immunity to High-Voltage Transients (dv/dt) and Fast Current Spikes (di/dt)

    Patented on-chip shield circuitry reduces output errors due to high-voltage switching (high dv/dt). Additionally, the Hall-effect sensing method is immune to inductance spikes from high di/dt events, unlike most shunt plus op-amp solutions.

    Features:

  • Patented on-chip shield
  • Non-contact sensing methodology
  • Benefits:

  • Inherent immunity to current and voltage transients
  • Reduced “blank time” after switching cycle 
  • Applications

    Power factor correction, DC-DC converters, inverters, motors control, VFDs and other drives.
