Sub-µA Current Sensor

RD-UAMP-SENSOR

Roll over image to zoom in

The Sub-µA Current Sensor is a Kinetis K22F-based current measurement board running on FreeRTOS, for use with the Freedom Development Ecosystem or any other Arduino-like development boards.

This Reference Design allows for nonintrusive interfacing between any MCU and 3.3V shield, and measurement of a large range of low currents (~60 nA – 5 mA). Multiple communication methods are available, including integration with Freedom Sensor Toolbox (CE).
