The Allegro ACS75x family of current sensors 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 sensor circuit with a
copper conduction path located near the die. Applied current fl owing through
this copper conduction path generates a magnetic fi eld 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 signal to the Hall
transducer. A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopperstabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed for accuracy at the factory.
The output of the device has a positive slope (>V
/ 2) when an increasing
CC
current fl ows through the primary copper conduction path (from terminal 4 to
terminal 5), which is the path used for current sensing. The internal resistance of
this conductive path is typically 100 µΩ, providing low power loss. The thickness
of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to 5× overcurrent
conditions. The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated from the
sensor leads (pins 1 through 3). This allows the ACS75x family of sensors 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-free. All leads 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 sensor 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 amplifi er gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifi er gain is trimmed at the
factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the full-scale current of the device.
Noise (V
The noise fl oor 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 (E
its full-scale amplitude. Linearity reveals the maximum deviation from the ideal transfer curve for this transducer. Nonlinearity in the
output can be attributed to the gain variation across temperature and saturation of the fl ux concentrator approaching the full-scale cur-
rent. 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 fl ux concentrator, which becomes signifi cant as the current being sensed approaches full-scale ±IP , and

Electrical offset voltage (VOE): The deviation of the device output from its ideal quiescent value of VCC ⁄ 2 due to nonmagnetic causes.
Magnetic offset error (I
netic 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 fl ux concentrator. The larger mag-
netic offsets are observed at the lower operating temperatures.
Accuracy (E
total ouput 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 of sensing zero current fl ow at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
• 0 A over temperature: Accuracy of sensing zero current fl ow including temperature effects.
• Full-scale current at 25°C: Accuracy of sensing the full-scale current at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
• Full-scale current over ∆ temperature: Accuracy of sensing full-scale current fl ow including temperature effects.
