IXYS Corporation (Nasdaq:SYXI) announced that its Clare
Micronix division has developed a new 12 Bit Digital Output Magnetic
Flux Sensor, the MX868. The sensor is a complete sampled data
subsystem that includes a unique adjustable digital filter that
significantly improves signal to noise performance while also reducing
signal bandwidth. The MX868 is powered from a 4.5 to 5.5 volt supply
and converts a magnetic flux intensity of +/- 500 Gauss full scale
into a 12-bit digital output word. It operates as a slave on a
standard serial interface bus and is compatible with daisy chain
expansion in a multiple device serial bus configuration. The MX868 can
be mounted onto a PCB or incorporated into a magnetic assembly and
then calibrated in-system through the serial interface.
This integrated circuit is designed to sense the magnetic field
generated in power systems as a result of electrical current, as well
as in motor control applications. Designers can use this IC for
sensing of electrical current, and thus sense power level, with
digital signal output to facilitate digital power control.
"The MX868 takes our hall sensor technology to the next level of
system integration. We have combined our sensitive magnetic flux
sensor and signal processing technologies to enable precise monitoring
of high amperage DC motors. The MX868 is the first device in a new
family of hall sensors that will be introduced over the next year,"
remarked Bob DeCaro, Vice President and General Manager of Clare
Micronix. "We are offering application support and information on the
versatility of the MX868 that can reduce system costs, by using our IC
versus expensive current sensors or other magnetic analog sensors."
Clare Micronix, a leader in the design of high-performance analog
and mixed-signal integrated circuits, has produced over 400
application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and application
specific standard products (ASSPs) for the display, communications,
consumer, and medical markets. Clare Micronix is a subsidiary company
of IXYS Corporation, a leading supplier of higher power semiconductors
and modules for the global power market. IXYS develops and markets
primarily high performance power and RF semiconductors and control ICs
that are used in controlling and converting electrical power
efficiently in power systems for telecommunication infrastructure,
motor drives, medical systems and transportation. IXYS also serves
emerging markets with digital and analog ICs that control flat panel
displays, medical instruments and telecommunication products.
