Vacuumschmelze presents its high-precision current sensor family at this year’s electronica. Type T60404-N4646-X654 measures maximum effective continuous current up to 50 A and peaks of up to +150 A. The dimensions of the sensor housing are an 22.2 mm x 10 mm x 24 mm. The electronics of these sensor...

LEM has introduced the AT series of AC current transducers with a new core material. The AT transducers combine an accurate current transformer and signal conditioning electronics in a case. They measure 44.5mm x 67mm x 36.5mm with a 16 mm diameter sensing aperture for non-contact measurement and ar...

Freescale is demonstrating a non-contact proximity sensor reference platform. This platform is based on Freescale's MC33794 proximity sensor, which generates a low-level electric field and uses feedback to detect the presence of objects. Freescale's proximity sensors provide solutions for automotive...

AMI Semiconductor has announced a 2400dpi CMOS image sensor. The  AMIS-722402 allows the selection of 2400, 1200, 600, or 300dpi resolutions. Based on AMI Semiconductor’s proprietary CMOS image sensing technology, the sensor combines, on a single IC, 1376 active pixels with an on-chip output am...

Interface Maxim introduces the MAX6638, a ±1.0°C accurate thermal sensor with two independent SMBus serial ports. The dual SMBus interface lets a GPU card controller and a CPU board controller access the temperature data of the GPU chip and graphics card, thereby eliminating communication errors. Th...

Maxim introduces the MAX6689, a ±1°C accurate, 6-channel temperature sensor. It accurately measures its own temperature and the temperature of up to six external locations such as CPUs, memory, GPUs, or other heat-sensitive locations. Available in 20-pin QSOP and TSSOP packages, the MAX6689 allows t...
