CSA-1V August 2004 CSA-1V Current Sensor Features: • Sensitive to a magnetic field parallel to the chip surface • Very high sensitivity • Linear output voltage proportional to a magnetic field • Wide-band: DC to 100kHz • Very low offset and offset-drift • Very low noise • Isolated from current conductor • Surface mount SOIC-8 package Applications: • AC and/or DC current measurement • Wide-Band Magnetic Field Measurement • Battery Chargers • AC-DC Converters • Motor Control General Description The CSA-1V is a single-axis integrated magnetic field sensor based on the Hall effect. The circuit is fabricated using a conventional CMOS technology with an additional ferromagnetic layer. The ferromagnetic layer is used as a magnetic flux concentrator providing a high magnetic gain. Therefore, the circuit features very high magnetic sensitivity, low offset, and low noise. The CSA-1V is packaged in a standard SOIC-8 full plastic package. This package provides: • highest isolation for applications with the current conductor on the PCB (up to 600V) • highest sensitivity for applications with the current lead above the chip.

A current conductor is placed at a certain distance above or beyond the chip. The magnetic field around a long current wire is described by H=I/2πr. The flux density at the place of the sensor depends upon the current in the wire I and the distance between sensor and wire r: B= µ0*I/2 πr.

The CSA-1V current sensor is placed on a PCB directly over the current track. The current track can consist of one or several loops, depending on the maximum current to be measured. The sensor measures the magnetic field emanating from the current flowing through the tracks.
