ACS759xCB
Thermally Enhanced, Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor IC
With 100 µΩ Current Conductor and Optimized Performance at 3.3 V
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Industry-leading noise performance through proprietary
amplifier and filter design techniques
• Integrated shield greatly reduces capacitive coupling
from current conductor to die due to high dV/dt signals,
and prevents offset drift in high-side, high voltage
applications
• Total output error improvement through gain and offset
trim over temperature
• Small package size, with easy mounting capability
• Monolithic Hall IC for high reliability
• Ultra-low power loss: 100 µΩ internal conductor
resistance
• Galvanic isolation allows use in economical, high-side
current sensing in high voltage systems

UL Certified
File No.: E316429
The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall
circuit with a copper conduction path located near 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 output 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 has a positive slope (>VCC / 2) when an
increasing current flows through the primary copper conduction
path (from terminal 4 to terminal 5), which is the path used
for current sampling. The internal resistance of this conductive
path is 100 µΩ typical, providing low power loss.

CHARACTERISTIC DEFINITIONS
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
half-scale current of the device.
Noise (VNOISE). 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.
Nonlinearity (ELIN). The degree to which the voltage output
from the IC varies in direct proportion to the primary current
through its half-scale amplitude. Nonlinearity in the output can be
attributed to the saturation of the flux concentrator approaching
the half-scale current. The following equation is used to derive
the linearity:
{ [
100 1–
∆ gain × % sat ( VIOUT_half-scale amperes –VIOUT(Q) )
2 (VIOUT_quarter-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q) )
[{
where
∆ gain = the gain variation as a function of temperature changes
from 25ºC,
% sat = the percentage of saturation of the flux concentrator, which becomes significant as the current being sampled
approaches half-scale ±IP , and
VIOUT_half-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the sampled
current approximates half-scale ±IP .
Symmetry (ESYM). The degree to which the absolute voltage
output from the IC varies in proportion to either a positive or
negative half-scale primary current. The following equation is
used to derive symmetry:
100
VIOUT_+ half-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q)
VIOUT(Q) – VIOUT_–half-scale amperes
Ratiometry. The device features a ratiometric output. This
means that the quiescent voltage output, VIOUTQ, and the magnetic sensitivity, Sens, are proportional to the supply voltage, VCC.
The ratiometric change (%) in the quiescent voltage output is
defined as:
∆VIOUTQ(∆V) =
VIOUTQ(VCC) VIOUTQ(3.3V)
VCC
3.3 (V)
× 100 (%)
and the ratiometric change (%) in sensitivity is defined as:
∆Sens(∆V) =
Sens(VCC)
VCC
Sens(3.3V)
3.3 (V)
× 100 (%)
Quiescent output voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the device
when the primary current is zero. For bidirectional devices,
it nominally remains at VCC ⁄ 2. Thus, VCC = 3.3 V translates
into VIOUT(QBI) = 1.65 V. For unidirectional devices, it nominally remains at 0.1 × VCC. Thus, VCC = 3.3 V translates into
VIOUT(QUNI) = 0.33 V. Variation in VIOUT(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 of VCC ⁄ 2 for bidirectional and
0.1 × VCC for unidirectional devices, due to nonmagnetic causes.
Magnetic offset error (IERROM). The magnetic offset is due to
the residual magnetism (remnant field) of the core material. The
magnetic 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 flux concentrator.
The larger magnetic offsets are observed at the lower operating
temperatures.
Total Output Error (ETOT). The maximum deviation of the
actual output from its ideal value, also referred to as accuracy,
illustrated graphically in the output voltage versus current chart
on the following page.
ETOT 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.
• Half-scale current at 25°C. Accuracy at the the half-scale
current at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
• Half-scale current over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the halfscale current flow including temperature effects.

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.
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.

Propagation delay (tPROP). The time required for the device
output to reflect a change in the primary current signal. Propagation delay is attributed to inductive loading within the linear IC
package, as well as in the inductive loop formed by the primary
conductor geometry. Propagation delay can be considered as a
fixed time offset and may be compensated.

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 modulationdemodulation 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. The anti-aliasing filter prevents aliasing
from happening in applications with high frequency signal com-
ponents which are beyond the user’s frequency range of interest.
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.
