Overview

The MLX91209LVA-CAA-000-SP is a high-speed, programmable Hall effect current sensor designed for non-intrusive AC/DC current measurement. It offers a ratiometric voltage output, making it suitable for a wide range of embedded applications. This sensor is AEC-Q100 automotive qualified, indicating its robustness for demanding environments.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers high accuracy of +/-0.1% and a wide bandwidth from DC to 250kHz, allowing for precise measurement of both static and rapidly changing currents. Its short response time of 2us is crucial for fast-acting protection circuits and control systems. The AEC-Q100 qualification ensures reliability in harsh automotive and industrial environments.
