CROCUS TECHNOLOGY UNVEILS INDUSTRY-FIRST TMR CONTACTLESS, CORELESS, ZERO-LOSS, MINIATURE SIZE CURRENT SENSOR

The XtremeSense™ TMR-based CT220 contactless current sensor enables high isolation, high-resolution and high accuracy measurements for power monitoring applications without the need for magnetic concentrators or shield

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crocus Technology Inc., the leading supplier of disruptive XtremeSense™ Tunnel Magneto-Resistance (TMR) sensors, today announces the CT220, a contactless current sensor, with high linearity, high-resolution, a wide dynamic range in a small form-factor targeted for multitude of current sensing applications. The CT220 is the newest member of Crocus’ current sensing product family joining the CT110 and CT100.

The CT220 is powered by Crocus’s patented XtremeSense TMR 1D technology which enables it to detect the slightest change in AC or DC current while maintaining a best-in-class 0.5% typical total output error. The CT220 is able to detect currents as low as 5 mA to over a thousand Amperes within a 1.5 mT to 15 mT operating magnetic field range. The CT220 consumes about 1.2 mA and has a sampling frequency of 200 kHz. It also has a ratio-metric analog output capable of supporting a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
