Crocus Technology newest CT220 offers multitude current sensing applications

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 -- Crocus Technology Inc has unveiled a contactless current sensor, CT220, the newest member of Crocus’ current sensing product family joining the CT110 and CT100.

According to a statement, Crocus Technology is the leading supplier of disruptive XtremeSense™ Tunnel Magneto-Resistance (TMR) sensors.

The sensor offers high linearity, high-resolution, a wide dynamic range in a small form-factor targeted for multitude of current sensing applications.

The CT220 is powered by Crocus’s patented XtremeSense TMR 1D technology, detecting the slightest change in AC or DC current while maintaining a best-in-class 0.5 per cent 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 coreless and contactless CT220 simply enables a multitude of applications including solar and power inverters, power supplies, battery management systems, white goods, industrial appliances and power distribution units,” said Crocus Technology President and Chief Executive Officer, Zack Deiri.

The CT220 is available in a 5-lead SOT23 package. Samples and evaluation boards are currently available, and it will be in production next month. More details on the product at http://www.crocus-technology.com
