Today, current sensors are ubiquitous in automotive electronics, electric drives, server and telecom applications, lighting management, converters in solar and wind turbines and many other power electronic applications. They are a key component both for the control of safety-relevant applications as well as for energy conversion.
The key to coping with these increased demands placed on current sensors is a high bandwidth of at least 1 GHz, DC capability, high dynamics above 140 dB and a compact design. The project mAgnes aims at the development of such a high performance current sensor.
