DC Ammeter Lineup (Digital Panel Meters, Signal Converters, Indicator Alarms, Distributors)

For Real-Time PWM Current Measurement & Feedback Control

Equipped with a built-in current detection resistor and an oversampling sigma-delta AD converter operating at approximately 250 kHz, this device measures the average current per output update interval.
The scaling rate can be configured as desired. With a wide variety of input ranges, hold features, and control functions, it is also perfectly suited for scaling meter applications.

Application Examples

 View All Applications > 

The PSA Series features an exceptionally low input resistance of approximately 40 mΩ (for ±10A / ±5A / ±2A models), enabling highly precise measurements.
With minimal voltage drop, it is ideal for measuring current in low-voltage equipment and evaluating battery charging/discharging characteristics.
