Datasheet Now Available
for the Upcoming CQ36 Series

Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM)'s CQ36 Series is a high-precision and compact digital output current sensor IC. AKM's CQ36 Series is a digital output type current sensor IC with a built-in ΣΔ modulator. It utilizes III-V compound semiconductor Hall elements. The CQ36 Series has achieved the accuracy comparable to the current detection solutions using shunt resistors and isolated ADCs while reducing the number of parts, offering compact packaging, and reducing the heat generation. The CQ36 Series contributes to the miniaturization and space-saving of industrial equipment systems.

Enable System Miniaturization

with Our IC solutions

By integrating the current sensor with a ΣΔ modulator into a single chip, it minimizes the number of peripheral components, contributing to the reduction of system size. The Series is also extremely thin compared to cement resistors, allowing for reflow soldering, thereby improving layout flexibility.

Efficient Heat Reduction

for Reliable Operation

Our unique packaging development has achieved a low resistance of 0.27 mΩ in the primary conductor, significantly suppressing heat generation for current application compared to shunt resistors and similar products from other manufacturers, enabling continuous conduction at 60 Arms.

Enhancing System Efficiency

and Precision Control

Using III-V compound semiconductors, it offers ultra-low noise characteristics with an ENOB of 12 to 14 bits, comparable to shunt resistor-based current sensors, despite being a coreless current sensor.
