Magnetic Current Sensing Drives Vehicle Electrification

Modern cars have become increasingly power hungry. Even the “least electrified” vehicles include advanced electronics for infotainment, safety, and engine control. Fully electric vehicles further add high-voltage power domains to charge and drive. Each of these systems shares the need for power monitoring and control, and this is where current sensors are used.
