TI Simplifies Current Sensing with New Hall-Effect Sensors and Integrated Shunt Solutions

News
DALLAS – Texas Instruments’ (TI) new current sensor, the TMCS1123 low-drift isolated Hall-effect current sensor, is designed for common-mode high-voltage systems and temperatures, and current shunt monitors, eliminating the need for an external shunt resistor for non-isolated voltage rails.
The new TMCS1123 current sensor supports a reinforced isolation working voltage of 1,100 VDC, and a maximum sensitivity error of ±0.75% with 50 ppm/°C drift over temperature and ±0.5% drift over lifetime. The TMCS1123 also features low propagation delay of 600 ns and bandwidth of 250 kHz for faster control loops and low noise.
For non-isolated systems up to 85 V and 75 ARMS, TI’s new EZShunt portfolio includes a fully integrated current shunt monitor and a 75-A integrated shunt solution. The EZShunt portfolio of current-sensing solutions provides a fully integrated current-sensing solution that fits within the footprint of a 1206 shunt resistor.
The EZShunt portfolio offers drift as low as 25 ppm/°C, in a variety of packages and shunt values. Per the company, the INA700 is the industry’s smallest integrated current shunt monitor, allowing engineers to reduce the size of their current-sensing solution by as much as 84%. The portfolio also includes the INA781, a 75-A integrated shunt solution supporting common-mode voltages up to 85 V.
