The unique package allows for easy implementation without breaking original system and make current sensing possible. Typical applications include load detection and management, over-current fault detection and any intelligent power management system etc… The WCM3720A consists of a current sensor and a very high accuracy A/D converter, power on/off switch, digital signal of current and a setting current over control output and an internal regulator for sensor. The WCM3720A includes a current sensor with a diameter 9mm hole, users can just use system’s own electric wire by pass it through this hole to measure passing current without breaking original system, user’s MCU can get the real data from DATA pin. The WCM3720A can set 1~15A over-current indicator, detail description can refer to the Iset Table. Winson reserves the right to make changes to improve reliability or manufacturability. 1 WCM3720A Iset Table User can set Iset to detect passing current. The selection table shown as following: S3 S2 S1 S0 Iset S3 S2 S1 S0 Iset 1 1 1 1 15A 0 1 1 1 7A 1 1 1 0 14A 0 1 1 0 6A 1 1 0 1 13A 0 1 0 1 5A 1 1 0 0 12A 0 1 0 0 4A 1 0 1 1 11A 0 0 1 1 3A 1 0 1 0 10A 0 0 1 0 2A 1 0 0 1 9A 0 0 0 1 1A 1 0 0 0 8A 0 0 0 0 X Note: 1: Open the jumper 0: Short the jumper X: No limit If the measured current is more than the setting maximum current, then the CONT will output a high-level signal. Normally, the CONT pin is kept in low-level. Pad Description Pad No Pad Name I/O 1 CONT O 2 3 DRX DTX I O 4 SYNC O 5 6 7 SW1 GND VDD I ― ― Description The over-current indicator. If the current ≧Iset , the CONT pin will outputs high level. Otherwise, the CONT pin outputs low level. The data of measured current output. Its output is UART communication. The baud rate is 2.4K bits/sec. The SYNC pin indicates the output of data. It will output low level when the UART is start and output high level when URAT is terminated Reserve The system ground The positive power input pin Electrical Characteristics Symbol Parameter VDD IDD POP Top TST Operation Voltage Operation Current Measureable Current Range Operating temperature Store temperature Test Condition VDD Condition - - 5V Without Loading 5V - - - - - Min.

There are total 7 bytes of data will be output. For example, if the measured data is “5.376”A, then the output data is ‘0’, ‘5’, ‘3’, ‘7’, ‘6’, ‘\r’,‘\n’, total of 7 bytes; the output data is ASCII code. If the measured data is “10.76” A, then the output data is ‘1’, ‘0’, ‘7’, ‘6’, ‘0’, ‘\r’,‘\n’, total of 7 bytes.
