Infineon Technologies XENSIV™ TLE4978 High-Bandwidth Current Sensor

Infineon Technologies XENSIV™ TLE4978 High-Bandwidth Current Sensor, based on Hall-effect and coil sensing elements, with user-configurable overcurrent detection (OCD) and zero-crossing detection (ZCD). Infineon's well-established and robust magnetic sensing technology enables accurate and highly linear measurement of currents with a full-scale current up to ±67.5A. These sensors avoid all negative effects commonly observed with open-loop sensors using flux-concentration techniques, such as saturation and hysteresis. It provides a fast and accurate solution for measuring high-frequency currents in DC-DC converters and other switch-mode power supply applications.

These features make TLE4978 ideally suited for current transformer and shunt replacement in high-voltage, basic applications. The low-profile, surface-mount DSO-16 wide-body package of TLE4978 allows easy implementation in a high-voltage environment. The fully integrated package with an internal copper conductive path has a typical resistance of 0.55mΩ, providing low power loss. The current flowing through the copper conduction path generates a magnetic field; the IC senses this field and converts it to a proportional voltage. The differential current measurement principle enables stray-field suppression for operation in harsh environments.
