Description

TLE4973 is a high precision miniature coreless magnetic current sensor for AC and DC measurements with analog interface

and fast over-current detection output. Negative effects (saturation, hysteresis) known from open loop sensors using flux

concentration techniques are avoided. The differential measurement principle allows great stray field suppression for operation

in harsh environments. The high configurability enables customization for a variety of applications. User-programmable

parameters such as OCD thresholds and sensitivity settings are stored in an embedded EEPROM. Device configuration can

be performend in-situ through a one-wire UART based interface called Digital Control Diagnostic Interface (DCDI). The DCDI

interface provides read/write access to internal registers of the device and allows to trigger the diagnostic mode and to read

temperature, OCD and safety status. It has an auto-addressing functionality and can handle up to 8 slaves on one bus.
