Melexis announces safety qualification for sensors
Summary
This certification broadens their application range and reduces the Bill of Materials (BoM) component count. This technical qualification upgrade enhances the value of the Hall-effect sensors, simplifying designs and reducing engineering efforts and costs. “With the new MLX91220 and MLX91221 qualification, we are providing engineers with the simplest route to reinforced isolation,” said Bruno Boury, Product Line Director at Melexis. “We have effectively upgraded 50 product variants at no cost to the customer, helping them achieve critical safety requirements with just a single component – easing production costs and packaging constraints.” With its established reliability in automotive and industrial applications, the MLX91220 and MLX91221 further strengthen their market presence through this additional safety qualification. Both devices feature a bandwidth of 300 kHz, a rapid response time of 2 µs, and are available with a current range of 0-50 A RMS.
