Monitoring Current in SiC Power MOSFET Modules: The Nano Current Sensor

31/01/2024

LEM, a leader in electrical measurement, and Semikron Danfoss, a prominent player in the power electronics industry, have joined forces to introduce a groundbreaking innovation in automotive power management. Their collaboration has resulted in the development of Nano, a high-performance current sensor specifically designed to monitor current in automotive silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFET modules.

The Innovation Behind Nano

The core concept behind Nano is to provide a current sensor that seamlessly integrates with Semikron's DCM SiC power modules, which boast voltage ratings of 750 or 1,200V and current ratings ranging from 200 to 1,000A. LEM's vision was to create a compact, core-based current sensor that could be conveniently accommodated in the unused space between the top side of the power module and the gate driver board, without requiring additional space.

Seamless Integration and Efficiency

By leveraging this innovative approach, the Nano current sensor aligns perfectly with the footprint of the power module, eliminating the need for extra space within the inverter. This seamless integration means that no additional components are necessary to mechanically secure the sensor or establish an electrical connection to the driver board. As a result, the Nano sensor enhances efficiency without imposing additional spatial or technical requirements, contributing to a more streamlined and compact design for automotive power electronics.

Empowering Future Automotive Power Systems

The collaboration between LEM and Semikron Danfoss marks a significant step forward in advancing the capabilities of automotive power management systems. The introduction of Nano represents a pivotal innovation that not only facilitates precise current monitoring but also underscores the industry's commitment to driving efficiency and performance in automotive power electronics.

With Nano's exceptional compatibility with Semikron's DCM SiC power modules, LEM and Semikron Danfoss have set a new standard for current sensing technology in automotive applications, paving the way for more robust, efficient, and integrated power systems in vehicles.

Semikron Danfoss and DCM Power Modules

As a key player in the industry, Semikron Danfoss's DCM power modules offer unparalleled performance and reliability in SiC power management. With the integration of Nano, these modules are set to elevate automotive power systems to new heights, enhancing both performance and design efficiency.

This partnership between LEM and Semikron Danfoss exemplifies a shared commitment to innovation and progress in the automotive industry, promising a brighter and more efficient future for automotive power management.
