80% of all current measurements within motor control are done with a shunt resistor. The voltage drop across the shunt is converted to a digital signal with a delta-sigma modulator. Hall sensors are mainly used in high current applications, where the power consumption inside the shunt resistor is getting too big. To generate the lowest overhead in development, the shunt and hall module should just be exchangeable. Therefore, the hall sensor should provide a bit-stream output of a delta-sigma modulator by maintaining low noise at a low price. The delta-sigma modulator ADS1208 from TI makes this possible.
