Crocus Technology unveils isolated current sensor with no performance compromises

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 -- Crocus Technology Inc, the leading supplier of disruptive Tunnel Magneto-Resistance XtremeSense™ TMR sensors, has announced the CT430 and CT431 isolated current sensor with 1MHz bandwidth and less than one per cent total error over the full temperature range.

The high speed operation and accurate output allow customers to optimise system design for smaller size and higher efficiency, according to a statement.

Products like the CT430 and CT431 which have an industry standard footprint enable customers to easily upgrade their existing products and accelerate product adoption.

In contrast to existing designs that utilise a Hall Sensor, the XtremeSense™ TMR sensor enables a no-compromise design solution by combining high bandwidth response and high accuracy.

“Our customers have been astounded by the level of performance we are able to deliver in their applications. The combination of high response time and accuracy provides system designers the flexibility they have been eager to achieve without any compromises,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of Crocus Technology, Zack Deiri.

The Crocus proprietary TMR technology inherently offers very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which allow for high resolution measurements required for precision control or monitoring applications.

Investments made last year to expand its production capacity have enabled Crocus to be prepared to support high volume production today.

The CT430 and CT431 are available in an industry standard 16-lead SOIC-Wide package with dimensions of 10.20 10.31 2.54 mm. Samples and evaluation boards are currently available, and the devices are in full production in August 2021.
