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 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 owing through
this copper conduction path generates a magnetic 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, chopper-
stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed for accuracy at the factory.
The output of the device will be valid when the current ows from pin 4 to pin 5.
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 ampli er gain (mV/G). The linear IC ampli er gain is trimmed 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 ampli er gain (mV/G) and the noise oor for the Allegro Hall effect linear IC (1 G).
The noise 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 (ELIN): The degree to which the voltage output from the sensor varies in direct proportion to the primary current through its
full-scale amplitude. Nonlinearity in the output can be attributed to the saturation of the ux concentrator approaching the full-scale
current. The following equation is used to derive the linearity
De nitions of Accuracy Characteristics
where
Vout_¼ full-scale IP (V) is the output voltage when the sensed current approximates 0.25 × IP(max), and
Vout_¾ full-scale IP (V) is the output voltage when the sensed current approximates 0.75 × IP(max).
Quiescent output voltage (VOUT(Q)): The output of the sensor when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply voltage, it
nominally remains at 0.6 V. Variation in VOUT(Q) can be attributed to the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim,
magnetic hysteresis, and thermal drift.
Electrical offset voltage (VOE): The deviation of the device output from its ideal quiescent value due to nonmagnetic causes.
Magnetic offset error (IERROM): The magnetic offset is due to the residual magnetism (remnant eld) of the core material. The mag-
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 ux concentrator. The larger mag-
netic offsets are observed at the lower operating temperatures.
Accuracy (ETOT): The accuracy represents the maximum deviation of the actual output from its ideal value. This is also known as the
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 ow at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
0 A over temperature: Accuracy of sensing zero current 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 Δ temperature: Accuracy of sensing full-scale current ow including temperature effects.

De nitions of Dynamic Response Characteristics
Propagation delay (tPROP): The time required for the sensor output to re ect a change in the primary current
signal. Propagation delay is attributed to inductive loading within the linear IC package, as well as in the induc-
tive loop formed by the primary conductor geometry. Propagation delay can be considered as a xed time offset
and may be compensated.
Response time (tRESPONSE): The time interval between a) when the primary current signal reaches 90% of its
nal value, and b) when the sensor reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the applied current.
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. The rise time to a step response is used to derive the bandwidth of the
current sensor, 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 and, to varying degrees, in the ferrous ux concentrator
within the current sensor package.
