Sense - Current Sensors
Allegro - Model ACS37002 - 400 kHz, High Accuracy Current Sensor with Pin-Selectable Gains
Our 400 kHz ACS37002 family of sensors is cool under heavy workloads, with a compact, low power loss package that keeps temperatures down and can extend the life of a power system. These current sensors hit the right balance of high speed, high accuracy, and stability over temperature, making switched-mode power designs greener and more efficient—leading technology and the world to a more sustainable future.
Drive - BLDC Drivers
Allegro - Model A4918 - Automotive Three-Phase MOSFET Driver
The A4918 is an N-channel power MOSFET driver capable of controlling MOSFETs connected in a 3-phase bridge arrangement and is specifically designed for automotive applications with high-power inductive loads, such as BLDC motors. A unique charge pump regulator provides the supply for the MOSFET gate drive for battery voltages down to 7 V and allows the A4918 to operate with a reduced gate drive down to 4.5 V. Gate drive voltage and strength are programmable to help reduce EMC issues. A bootstrap capacitor is used to provide the above-battery supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs with an additional above-battery charge pump to ensure that the bootstrap capacitors remain charged when held in the on state. Full control is provided over all six power MOSFETs in the 3-phase bridge, allowing motors to be driven with block commutation or sinusoidal excitation.
Sense - Position Sensors
Allegro - Model A31102 - Low-Noise, Programmable Linear Hall IC with Advanced Diagnostics
The A31102 is an especially configurable and robust solution for the most demanding linear magnetic field sensing applications, including torque sensing in electronic power steering (EPS).
