NVE Introduces Isolated Current Sensor
AAV004-02E packs best-in-class performance in SOIC8 package

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.—July 2, 2014—NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) today announced the introduction of the new AAV004-02E Isolated Current Sensor.

Combining NVE’s award-winning sensor and isolator technologies, the new AAV004-02E Isolated Current Sensor packs best-in-class performance in a small eight-pin SOIC package:
  • -5 amp to +5 amp input range
  • Zero to five volt linear output
  • Total error less than 0.5 percent
  • AC or DC
  • Temperature compensated from -25 to +85 degrees Celsius
  • 300 working voltage (line voltage) rating per the VDE 0884-10 safety standard

The AAV004-02E combines a linear bipolar giant magnetoresistance (GMR) bridge sensor with on-chip signal processing to amplify, normalize, and temperature compensate the output.

Current is fed into a current strap on one side of the package, and sensed by a GMR bridge sensor array close to the strap. The output is a rail-to-rail analog voltage proportional to the input current and ratiometric with the supply. An on-chip EEPROM stores factory calibration data.

Isolation is provided by NVE’s unique ceramic/polymer composite barrier with an estimated life of a remarkable 44000 years.

Datasheets and samples are available now.

NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store and transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products including sensors and couplers that are used to acquire and transmit data. NVE has also licensed its spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology, commonly known as MRAM.

Statements used in this announcement that relate to future plans, events, or performance are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others the risk factors listed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.
