Extremely stable output offset voltage
Nearly zero magnetic hysteresis
Ratiometric output from supply voltage
The device consists of a precise, low-offset, linear Hall 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 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 after packaging.
The output of the device has a positive slope (>VIOUT(Q))
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 sampling. The internal resistance of
this conductive path is 1.2 mΩ typical, providing low power
loss. The thickness of the copper conductor allows survival of

ACS713
Description (continued)
the device at up to 5× overcurrent conditions. The terminals of the
conductive path are electrically isolated from the signal leads (pins
5 through 8). This allows the ACS713 to be used in applications
requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or
other costly isolation techniques.
The ACS713 is provided in a small, 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.

Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor IC
with 2.1 kVRMS Isolation and a Low-Resistance Current Conductor
Definitions of Accuracy Characteristics
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 programmed 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 attributed to the saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the
full-scale current. The following equation is used to derive the
linearity:
{ [
100 1–
(VIOUT_full-scale amperes –VIOUT(Q) )
2 (VIOUT_half-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q))
[{
Accuracy is divided into four areas:
0 A at 25°C. Accuracy at the zero current flow at 25°C, without 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 fullscale current flow including temperature effects.
Ratiometry. The ratiometric feature means that its 0 A output,
VIOUT(Q), (nominally equal to VCC × 0.1 ) and sensitivity, Sens, are
proportional to its supply voltage, VCC . The following formula is
used to derive the ratiometric change in 0 A output voltage,
VIOUT(Q)RAT (%).

Accuracy
Over $Temp erature
Electrical offset voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device
output from its ideal quiescent value of VCC × 0.1 due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this voltage to amperes, divide by the
device sensitivity, Sens.
Accuracy (ETOT). The accuracy represents the maximum deviation 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 at right.
The ratiometric change in sensitivity, SensRAT (%), is defined as:
where VIOUT_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the
sampled current approximates full-scale ±IP .
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 × 0.1 . Thus, VCC = 5 V translates
into VIOUT(Q) = 0.5 V. Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to
the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim and
thermal drift.

Definitions of Dynamic Response Characteristics
Power-On Time (tPO). When the supply is ramped to its operating 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.
Primary Current
I (%)
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.

Chopper Stabilization Technique
Chopper Stabilization is an innovative circuit technique that is
used to minimize the offset voltage of a Hall element and an associated on-chip amplifier. Allegro patented a Chopper Stabilization technique that nearly eliminates Hall IC output drift induced
by temperature or package stress effects. This offset reduction
technique is based on a signal modulation-demodulation process.
Modulation is used to separate the undesired DC offset signal
from the magnetically induced signal in the frequency domain.
Then, using a low-pass filter, the modulated DC offset is suppressed while the magnetically induced signal passes through
the filter. As a result of this chopper stabilization approach, the
output voltage from the Hall IC is desensitized to the effects
of temperature and mechanical stress. This technique produces
devices that have an extremely stable Electrical Offset Voltage,
are immune to thermal stress, and have precise recoverability
after temperature cycling.
This technique is made possible through the use of a BiCMOS
process that allows the use of low-offset and low-noise amplifiers
in combination with high-density logic integration and sample
and hold circuits.

Improving Sensing System Accuracy Using the FILTER Pin
In low-frequency sensing applications, it is often advantageous
to add a simple RC filter to the output of the device. Such a lowpass filter improves the signal-to-noise ratio, and therefore the
resolution, of the device output signal. However, the addition of
an RC filter to the output of a sensor IC can result in undesirable
device output attenuation — even for DC signals.
Signal attenuation, ∆VATT , is a result of the resistive divider
effect between the resistance of the external filter, RF (see Application 5), and the input impedance and resistance of the customer
interface circuit, RINTFC. The transfer function of this resistive
divider is given by:
⎛
⎞
⎟
⎝ RF + RINTFC ⎠
∆VATT = VIOUT ⎜
⎜
RINTFC
.
Even if RF and RINTFC are designed to match, the two individual
resistance values will most likely drift by different amounts over
temperature. Therefore, signal attenuation will vary as a function
of temperature. Note that, in many cases, the input impedance,
RINTFC , of a typical analog-to-digital converter (ADC) can be as
low as 10 kΩ.
The ACS713 contains an internal resistor, a FILTER pin connection to the printed circuit board, and an internal buffer amplifier. With this circuit architecture, users can implement a simple
RC filter via the addition of a capacitor, CF (see Application 6)
from the FILTER pin to ground. The buffer amplifier inside of
the ACS713 (located after the internal resistor and FILTER pin
connection) eliminates the attenuation caused by the resistive
divider effect described in the equation for ∆VATT. Therefore, the
ACS713 device is ideal for use in high-accuracy applications that
cannot afford the signal attenuation associated with the use of an
external RC low-pass filter.

Application 5. When a low pass filter is constructed externally to a standard Hall effect device,
a resistive divider may exist between the filter
resistor, RF, and the resistance of the customer interface circuit, RINTFC. This resistive divider
will cause excessive attenuation, as given by the
transfer function for ∆VATT.
