General Description
The Winson WCM3720A provides economical and precise solution for AC current sensing in industrial,
commercial and communications systems. 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.

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.

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

Measured Current Data Output
The measured current can be transmitted by UART format. 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.
