When tasked with a current sensing requirement, designers typically look first to using dedicated resistors designed for this task. Occasionally though there is the temptation to consider sensing ...

The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

A power-module architecture developed by Asahi Kasei and Silicon Austria Labs features Hall-effect sensors, delivering higher accuracy in a compact form factor. Built on a standard PCB using ...

[Jon] wanted to keep track of his home power use, but didn’t want to have to push his data up to some cloud service that’s just going to leave him high and dry in the future. So he went completely DIY ...

In 2004, Intel specified a standard integrated Driver-MOSFET (DrMOS) device for use in a typical PC platform. This specification’s goal was to provide features for an integrated device to produce the ...
