HOB series

A unique combination of short response time and high bandwidth for current sensing in harsh environments

High bandwidth and short response time

Unmatched performance for SiC MOSFET applications

With a market-leading response time of < 200 ns – compared to average response times of around 3 microseconds – the HOB sensors are capable of measuring DC, AC or pulsed current up to 250A. 

At the same time, the HOB product family is ideally suited to wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics use cases and applications that require enhanced immunity to the dv/dt (acceleration) issues that SiC power modules are prone to.

Moreover, the HOB parts offer a high bandwidth (> 1MHz), reinforced insulation with dCp/dCl > 11 mm, and an integrated primary conductor with very low resistance of 60 nΩ.

HOB current sensors utilize open-loop Hall effect technology, making them well-suited for a range of industrial applications. Among those applications stand handheld plasma cutters, welders, DC-DC converters, etc.
