Overview and Application of the VAC M4645 Series Sensor with DRV401

The VACUUMSCHMELZE part number T60404M4645X060, from the M4645 series, is a current sensor designed for high-accuracy current measurement applications.

These M4645 series sensors, the component contains only magnetic elements: a NiFe core, winding (K1, K2), and a fluxgate sensor probe (S1, S2). There are no active electrical components inside the sensor itself.

According to Texas Instruments documentation, this sensor is designed to interface with the DRV401, a Fluxgate sensor signal conditioner IC.
Although the DRV401A is now listed as Discontinued Products , reference documents are available to provide useful application diagrams and design examples to illustrate how the T60404M4645X060 should be connected in a circuit using the DRV401.
