The Allegro™ ACS730 current sensor family provides
economical and precise solutions for AC or DC current sensing
in industrial, commercial, and communications systems. The
device package allows for easy implementation by the customer.
Typical applications include motor control, load detection and
management, switched-mode power supplies, and overcurrent
fault protection.
The device consists of a precise, low-offset, linear Hall
sensor circuit with a copper conduction path located near the
surface of the die. Applied current flowing through this copper
conduction path generates a magnetic field which is sensed by
the integrated Hall IC and converted into a proportional voltage.
Device accuracy is optimized through the close proximity of the
magnetic field to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional
voltage is provided by the Hall IC, which is programmed
for accuracy after packaging. The output of the device has a
positive slope when an increasing current flows through the
primary copper conduction path (from pins 1 and 2, to pins 3
and 4), which is the path used for current sensing. The internal
resistance of this conductive path is typically 1.2 mΩ, providing
low power loss.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 5 through 8). This allows the
ACS730 current sensor to be used in high-side current sense
applications without the use of high-side differential amplifiers
or other costly isolation techniques.
The ACS730 is provided in a small, low-profile surface-mount
SOIC8 package. The leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin,
which is compatible with standard lead (Pb) free printed circuit
board assembly processes. Internally, the device is Pb-free,
except for flip-chip high-temperature Pb-based solder balls,
currently exempt from RoHS. The device is fully calibrated
prior to shipment from the factory.
