A DIY Fluxgate Magnetometer based Current Probe
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-fluxgate-magnetometer-based-current-probe/
shabaz @ element14.com show us how to build a Current Probe based on DRV425 Integrated Fluxgate Magnetic Sensor IC. He writes: Current measurement can be really awkward when working with circuits. Voltage measurements are (usually) straightforward, but when it comes to current measurements the story is different. One typical approach is to insert a known […]
NVE Introduces Smart GMR Magnetometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nve-introduces-smart-gmr-magnetometer/
NVE Corporation announced the new SM124-10E Smart Magnetometer. The new sensor combines a Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) sensor element with elegant digital signal processing. The versatile product can be used for current or proximity measurements. In-Plane Sensitivity Unlike awkward, old-fashioned Hall-effect sensors, GMR is sensitive in-plane for optimal current sensing and easy mechanical interfaces. A Slick, […]
