The device consists of a low-offset, linear Hall sensor 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 is sensed by the integrated Hall
IC and converted into a proportional voltage. Device accuracy
is optimized through the close proximity of the magnetic field
to the Hall transducer. A 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 when an increasing current
flows through the primary copper conduction path (from pins
1 through 4, to pins 5 through 8), which is the path used for
current sensing. The internal resistance of this conductive path
is 0.85 mΩ typical, providing low power loss.
The ACS718 is provided in a small, low profile surface mount
SOICW16 package (suffix MA). The device is lead (Pb) free
with 100% matte tin leadframe plating. The device is fully
calibrated prior to shipment from the factory.

The Allegro™ ACS718 current sensor IC is an economical, high
isolation solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
commercial, and communications systems. The small package is
ideal for space constrained applications, though the wide-body
provides the creepage and clearance needed for high isolation.
Typical applications include motor control, load detection and
management, switched-mode power supplies, and overcurrent
fault protection.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 10 through 15 ). This allows the
ACS718 current sensor IC to be used in high-side current sense
applications without the use of high-side differential amplifiers
or other costly isolation techniques.

High Isolation Linear Current Sensor IC with

DEFINITIONS OF ACCURACY CHARACTERISTICS
Sensitivity (Sens). The change in sensor IC output in response to
a 1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the
product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) (1 G = 0.1 mT)
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.

where VIOUT(IPR(max)) is the output of the sensor IC with the
maximum measurement current flowing through it and
VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) is the output of the sensor IC with half of the
maximum measurement current flowing through it.
Zero Current Output Voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the
sensor when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply
voltage, it nominally remains at at 0.5 × VCC for a bidirectional
device and 0.1 × VCC for a unidirectional device. For example,
in the case of a bidirectional output device, VCC = 5 V translates
into VIOUT(Q) = 2.5 V. Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to
the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim and
thermal drift.

Total Output Error (ETOT). The the difference between the current measurement from the sensor IC and the actual current (IP),
relative to the actual current. This is equivalent to the difference
between the ideal output voltage and the actual output voltage,
divided by the ideal sensitivity, relative to the current flowing
through the primary conduction path:

The Total Output Error incorporates all sources of error and is a
function of IP . At relatively high currents, ETOT will be mostly
due to sensitivity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will
be mostly due to Offset Voltage (VOE ). In fact, at IP = 0, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset. This is illustrated in figures
1 and 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output voltages versus IP
at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 2 shows the corresponding ETOT versus IP .

High Isolation Linear Current Sensor IC with
850 µΩ Current Conductor
ACS718
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The ACS718 works by sensing the magnetic field created by the
current flowing through the package. However, the sensor cannot
differentiate between fields created by the current flow and external magnetic fields. This means that external magnetic fields can
cause errors in the output of the sensor. Magnetic fields which are
perpendicular to the surface of the package affect the output of
the sensor, as it only senses fields in that one plane. The error in
Amperes can be quantified as:
B
Error(B) =
CF
where B is the strength of the external field perpendicular to the
surface of the package in Gauss, and CF is the coupling factor in
G/A. Then, multiplying by the sensitivity of the part (Sens) gives
the error in mV.
For example, an external field of 1 Gauss will result in around
0.22 A of error. If the ACS718KMATR-10B, which has a nominal
sensitivity of 200 mV/A, is being used, that equates to 44 mV of
error on the output of the sensor.

Estimating Total Error vs. Sensed Current
The Performance Characteristics tables give distribution (±3
sigma) values for Total Error at IPR(max); however, one often
wants to know what error to expect at a particular current. This
can be estimated by using the distribution data for the components of Total Error, Sensitivity Error, and Offset Voltage. The
±3 sigma value for Total Error (ETOT) as a function of the sensed
current (IP) is estimated as:
2
ETOT(IP) = ESENS +
(
2
)
100 × VOE
Sens × IP
Here, ESENS and VOE are the ±3 sigma values for those error
terms. If there is an average sensitivity error or average offset
voltage, then the average Total Error is estimated as:
ETOTAVG (IP) = ESENSAVG +
100 × VOEAVG
Sens × IP
The resulting total error will be a sum of ETOT and ETOT_AVG.
Using these equations and the 3 sigma distributions for Sensitivity Error and Offset Voltage, the Total Error vs. sensed current
(IP) is below for the ACS718KMATR-20B. As expected, as one
goes towards zero current, the error in percent goes towards infinity due to division by zero (refer to Figure 3).

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.

tPO
t2= time at which output voltage settles
within ±10% of its steady state value
under an applied magnetic field
Propagation Delay (tpd )
The time interval between a) when the primary current signal
reaches 90% of its final value, and b) when the device reaches
90% of its output corresponding to the applied current.
t2
t1= time at which power supply reaches
minimum specified operating voltage
The time interval between a) when the sensor IC reaches 10% of
its full scale value, and b) when it reaches 90% of its full scale
value.
Response Time (tRESPONSE)
VIOUT
90% VIOUT
Rise Time (tr)
The propagation delay is measured as the time interval a) when
the primary current signal reaches 20% of its final value, and b)
when the device reaches 20% of its output corresponding to the
applied current.
