High-performance current sensors for automobile power conversion systems of the future.
Through Avnet’s extensive global distribution network, design engineers will soon have access to ACEINNA’s new MCx2101 series of AEC-Q100-approved vehicle current sensors.
The vehicle current sensors solutions showcases outstanding precision, large bandwidth, and quick reaction time of these fully integrated single-chip.
This makes the current sensors perfect for demanding automotive power conversion applications in ICE, hybrid, and electrically powered vehicles.
One of the top developers of high-performing thin-film magneto-resistance (xMR) current sensors has been ACEINNA.
“The MCx2101 family pushes the boundaries of current sensor performance, enabling automotive engineers to maximize the benefits of fast switching SiC/GaN power devices simplify system design, and improve overall efficiency. xMR technology represents an advanced technology platform outperforming traditional Hall-based current sensing solutions in bandwidth, response time, and noise,” said Teoman Ustun, VP of the Automotive Business Unit at ACEINNA. “With industry-leading accuracy, high bandwidth, and fast response time, these sensors contribute to improved performance, protection, and reliability across a wide range of automotive power applications.”
“Avnet is pleased to bring ACEINNA’s cutting-edge sensor technologies to market,” said Jason Skoczen, sales director of Lightspeed and Transportation, Avnet. “The MCx2101 family is ideal for the transportation vertical and will allow design engineers to bring higher levels of system efficiencies and integration to their designs.”
