The DC link capacitors are powered when switching on the DC link of frequency converters. The resulting inrush current must be limited here. Ralf Hickl, Product Sales Manager Automotive Business Unit, and Uwe Rahn, Director Automotive Business Unit, at Rutronik explain how this can be achieved with high-voltage switches.
Infineon's new TLE5501 products are 360° TMR-based angle sensor that detects the orientation of a magnetic field. This is achieved by measuring sine and cosine angle components with Tunneling Magneto Resistance (TMR) elements. These raw signals (sine and cosine) are provided as a differential output signal and can directly be further processed within a micro controller. The large output voltage of the...
