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.

Sensitivity (Sens). The change in sensor IC output in response to
a 1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the
product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) (1 G = 0.1 mT)
and the linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC ampli-
fier gain is programmed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity
(mV/A) for the full-scale current of the device.
Nonlinearity (ELIN). The nonlinearity is a measure of how linear
the output of the sensor IC is over the full current measurement
range. The nonlinearity is calculated as:
ELIN =
VIOUT (IR(max)) – VIOUT(Q)
2 • VIOUT (IR(max)/2) – VIOUT(Q)
100(%)
{

Zero Current Output Voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the
sensor when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply
voltage, it nominally remains at 2.5 V for a bidirectional device.
Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to the resolution of the
Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim and thermal drift.
Offset Voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device output from
its ideal quiescent value of 2.5 V due to nonmagnetic causes. To
convert this voltage to amperes, divide by the device sensitivity,
Sens.
Total Output Error (ETOT). The difference between the cur-
rent measurement from the sensor IC and the actual current (IP),
relative to the actual current. This is equivalent to the difference
between the ideal output voltage and the actual output voltage,
divided by the ideal sensitivity, relative to the current flowing
through the primary conduction path:
ETOT (IP) = VIOUT_IDEAL(IP) – VIOUT(IP)
SensIDEAL × IP
• 100 (%)
The Total Output Error incorporates all sources of error and is a
function of IP . At relatively high currents, ETOT will be mostly
due to sensitivity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will
be mostly due to Offset Voltage (VOE
). In fact, at IP = 0, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset. This is illustrated in Figure
1 and Figure 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output voltages
versus IP at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 2 shows the cor-
responding ETOT versus IP .

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Impact of External Magnetic Fields
The ACS730 works by sensing the magnetic field created by the
current flowing through the package. However, the sensor cannot
differentiate between fields created by the current flow and exter-
nal magnetic fields. This means that external magnetic fields can
cause errors in the output of the sensor. Magnetic fields which are
perpendicular to the surface of the package affect the output of
the sensor, as it only senses fields in that one plane. The error in
Amperes can be quantified as:
Error (B) =
B
MCF
where B is the strength of the external field perpendicular to the
surface of the package in gauss (G), and MCF is the magnetic
coupling factor in gauss/amperes (G/A). Then, multiplying by
the sensitivity of the part (Sens) gives the error in mV seen at the
output.
For example, an external field of 1 gauss will result in around
0.1 A of error. If the ACS730KLCTR-20AB, which has a nominal
sensitivity of 100 mV/A, is being used, that equates to 10 mV of
error on the output of the sensor.

Estimating Total Error vs. Sensed Current
The Performance Characteristics tables give distribution values
(±3 sigma) for Total Error at IP(max) and IP(half); however, one
often wants to know what error to expect at a particular current.
This can be estimated by using the distribution data for the com-
ponents of Total Error, Sensitivity Error, and Offset Voltage. The
±3 sigma value for Total Error (ETOT) as a function of the sensed
current (IP) is estimated as:
E(I) =
TOTP
E+
SENS
2
100 × V
OE
2
Sens × I
P
()
Here, ESENS and VOE are the ±3 sigma values for those error
terms. If there is an average offset voltage, then the average Total
Error is estimated as:
E(I) = E+
TOTP SENS
100 × V
OE
Sens × I
P
AVGAVG
AVG
The resulting total error will be a sum of ETOT and ETOT_AVG.
Using these equations and the 3 sigma distributions for Sensitiv-
ity Error and Offset Voltage, the Total Error versus sensed current
(IP) is below for the ACS730KLCTR-20AB. As expected, as the
sensed current (IP) approaches zero, the error in percent goes
towards infinity due to division by zero (refer to Figure 3).

DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Power-On Time (tPO). When the supply is ramped to its operat-
ing voltage, the device requires a finite time to power its internal
components before responding to an input magnetic field.
Power-On Time, tPO , is defined as the time it takes for the output
voltage to settle within ±10% of its steady-state value under an
applied magnetic field, after the power supply has reached its
minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min), as shown in the
chart at right.
Rise Time (tr). The time interval between a) when the sensor
reaches 10% of its full-scale value, and b) when it reaches 90% of
its full scale value.
Response Time (tRESPONSE). The time interval between a) when
the sensed input current reaches 90% of its final value, and b)
when the sensor output reaches 90% of its full-scale value.
Propagation Delay (tpd
). The time interval between a) when the
sensed input current reaches 20% of its full-scale value, and b)
when the sensor output reaches 20% of its full-scale value.
