Description

The Allegro ACS75x family of current sensor ICs provides

economical and precise solutions for current sensing in

industrial, automotive, commercial, and communications

systems. The device package allows for easy implementation by

the customer. Typical applications include motor control, load

detection and management, power supplies, and overcurrent

fault protection.

The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall

circuit with a copper conduction path located near the die.

Applied current flowing through this copper conduction path

generates a magnetic field which the Hall IC converts into a

proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the

close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer.

A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the low-offset,

chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed

for accuracy at the factory.

The output of the device has a positive slope (>VCC

/ 2) when an

increasing current flows through the primary copper conduction

path (from terminal 4 to terminal 5), which is the path used for

current sampling. The internal resistance of this conductive path

is typically 130 μΩ, providing low power loss. The thickness

of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to

ACS752100-DS Rev. 9

rently restricted to existing customer applications. The variant should not be purchased for new design applications because obsolescence in

5× overcurrent conditions. The terminals of the conductive path are

electrically isolated from the signal leads (pins 1 through 3). This

allows the ACS75x family of sensor ICs to be used in applications

requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or

other costly isolation techniques.

The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment from the factory.

The ACS75x family is lead (Pb) free. All pins are coated with

100% matte tin, and there is no lead inside the package. The

heavy gauge leadframe is made of oxygen-free copper.

Sensitivity (Sens). The change in device output in response to a

1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the

product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) and the linear

IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifier gain is pro-

grammed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the

full-scale current of the device.

Noise (VNOISE). The product of the linear IC amplifier gain

(mV/G) and the noise floor for the Allegro Hall effect linear IC

(≈1 G). The noise floor is derived from the thermal and shot

noise observed in Hall elements. Dividing the noise (mV) by the

sensitivity (mV/A) provides the smallest current that the device is

able to resolve.

Linearity (ELIN). The degree to which the voltage output from

the IC varies in direct proportion to the primary current through

its full-scale amplitude. Nonlinearity in the output can be attrib-

uted to the saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the

full-scale current. The following equation is used to derive the

linearity:

where

∆ gain = the gain variation as a function of temperature

changes from 25ºC,

% sat = the percentage of saturation of the flux concentra-

tor, which becomes significant as the current being sampled

approaches full-scale ±IP , and

VIOUT_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the

sampled current approximates full-scale ±IP .

Symmetry (ESYM). The degree to which the absolute voltage

output from the IC varies in proportion to either a positive or

negative full-scale primary current. The following equation is

used to derive symmetry:

Quiescent output voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the device

when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply voltage,

it nominally remains at VCC ⁄ 2. Thus, VCC = 5 V translates into

VIOUT(Q) = 2.5 V. Variation in VOUT(Q) can be attributed to the res-

olution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim, magnetic

hysteresis, and thermal drift.

Electrical offset voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device out-

put from its ideal quiescent value of VCC ⁄ 2 due to nonmagnetic

causes.

Magnetic offset error (IERROM). The magnetic offset is due to

the residual magnetism (remnant field) of the core material. The

magnetic offset error is highest when the magnetic circuit has

been saturated, usually when the device has been subjected to a

full-scale or high-current overload condition. The magnetic offset

is largely dependent on the material used as a flux concentrator.

The larger magnetic offsets are observed at the lower operating

temperatures.

Accuracy (ETOT). The accuracy represents the maximum devia-

tion of the actual output from its ideal value. This is also known

as the total output error. The accuracy is illustrated graphically in

the output voltage versus current chart on the following page.

Accuracy is divided into four areas:

 0 A at 25°C. Accuracy at the zero current flow at 25°C, with-

out the effects of temperature.

 0 A over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the zero current flow

including temperature effects.

 Full-scale current at 25°C. Accuracy at the the full-scale current

at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.

 Full-scale current over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the full-

scale current flow including temperature effects.

Propagation delay (tPROP). The time required for the device

output to reflect a change in the primary current signal. Propaga-

tion delay is attributed to inductive loading within the linear IC

package, as well as in the inductive loop formed by the primary

conductor geometry. Propagation delay can be considered as a

fixed time offset and may be compensated.

Rise time (tr). The time interval between a) when the device

reaches 10% of its full scale value, and b) when it reaches 90%

of its full scale value. The rise time to a step response is used to

derive the bandwidth of the device, in which ƒ(–3 dB) = 0.35 / tr.

Both tr and tRESPONSE are detrimentally affected by eddy current

losses observed in the conductive IC ground plane.

Response time (tRESPONSE). The time interval between a) when

the primary current signal reaches 90% of its final value, and b)

when the device reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the

applied current.
