Coilcraft has introduced the CSX7045 series of current-sensing transformers for high-performance power electronics and automotive applications.
The series is designed for use in dc-dc converters, motor drives, inverters, and power management circuits, making it relevant to electric vehicle (EV) power electronics where accurate current measurement is required across high-current switching systems.
The CSX7045 provides 1,800 Vrms isolation, turns ratios from 1:50 to 1:250, bandwidth up to 800 kHz, and current sensing above 20 A in a 5.3 mm-profile chip-style package. Its low dc resistance is designed to reduce conduction losses and self-heating in high-current applications.
The series is qualified based on AEC-Q200 Rev E and operates across an ambient temperature range of -40° to 125° C. Coilcraft says the devices are intended for demanding automotive environments.
