Robotics in Motion | Part 1: Designing Precision Joints with TMR & Inductive Position Sensing Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.

The recording of "Powering the Future of Braking" is now available on demand. Charles Keefer covers the engineering tradeoffs behind 12V and 48V smart caliper EMB architectures, and how safety PMICs, current sensing, and position sensing solve the thermal, EMI, vibration, and safety challenges at the wheel node.

Powering the Future of Braking: 12V/48V Architectures and Wheel-Node Sensing for EMB Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.

The "simple" shunt resistor is getting complicated.

With GaN/SiC adoption pushing switching speeds above 1 MHz and 48-V power spreading across AI server racks and robotics, discrete shunt circuits bring painful trade-offs: thermal dissipation, bulky layout, and sensitive Kelvin routing.

Check out this great article on Electronic Design by Matt Hein (Allegro MicroSystems) exploring how magnetic current sensors—specifically integrated Hall-effect and advanced TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance)—are stepping in:

✅ Inherent galvanic isolation (immune to brutal dv/dt swings)
✅ Up to 95% board space reduction
✅ Bandwidths up to 10 MHz with 50 ns overcurrent trip times

Are shunts still your default, or have you made the switch to magnetic sensing?

🔗Is Power Electronics Outgrowing Shunt-Based Current Sensors?

Is Power Electronics Outgrowing the Shunt Resistor? As switching frequencies continue to rise with the adoption of GaN and SiC, power engineers are eyeing alternatives to the shunt resistor for current sensing.

Our commitment to a better future is powered by the passion of our people. We are honored to continue our tradition of helping to protect our seas and making a positive impact in our community.

Measuring current on an 800V bus with a 3.3V MCU? Direct connection isn't an option. ⚡

Instead of adding bulky isolation amplifiers or optocouplers to a discrete shunt, integrated current sensors build certified galvanic isolation directly into the IC package.
