ALLEGRO ACS754XCB-050

Current Sensor: ACS754xCB-050
The Allegro ACS75x family of current sensors provides economical and
precise solutions for current sensing in industrial, automotive, commercial, and
communications systems. The device package allows for easy implementation
by the customer. Typical applications include motor control, load detection and
management, power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection.

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 sensing. The internal resistance of
this conductive path is typically 100 µΩ, providing low power loss. The thickness
of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to 5× overcurrent
conditions. The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated from the
sensor leads (pins 1 through 3). This allows the ACS75x family of sensors to be
used in applications requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators
or other costly isolation techniques.

Package CB-PSS
The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall sensor circuit with a
copper conduction path located near 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 signal to the Hall
transducer. A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopperstabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed for accuracy at the factory.

The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment from the factory. The ACS75x
family is lead-free. All leads are coated with 100% matte tin, and there is no lead
inside the package. The heavy gauge leadframe is made of oxygen-free copper.

Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000
Current Sensor: ACS754xCB-050
Definitions of Accuracy Characteristics
Sensitivity (Sens): The change in sensor 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 trimmed at the
factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the full-scale current of the device.
Noise (VNOISE): The product of the linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G) and the noise floor for the Allegro Hall effect linear IC (≈1 G).
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.
Linearity (ELIN): The degree to which the voltage output from the sensor varies in direct proportion to the primary current through
its full-scale amplitude. Linearity reveals the maximum deviation from the ideal transfer curve for this transducer. Nonlinearity in the
output can be attributed to the gain variation across temperature and saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the full-scale current. The following equation is used to derive the linearity:
{ [
100 1–
∆ gain × % sat ( Vout_full-scale amperes – VOUT(Q) )
2 (Vout_half-scale amperes – VOUT(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 sensed approaches full-scale ±IP , and
Vout_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the sensed current approximates full-scale ±IP .
Symmetry (ESYM): The degree to which the absolute voltage output from the sensor varies in proportion to either a positive or negative full-scale primary current. The following equation is used to derive symmetry:
100
[
Vout_+full-scale amperes – VOUT(Q)
VOUT(Q) –Vout_–full-scale amperes
[
Quiescent output voltage (VOUT(Q)): The output of the sensor when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply voltage, it
nominally remains at VCC ⁄ 2. Thus, VCC = 5 V translates into VOUT(Q) = 2.5 V. Variation in VOUT(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 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.
Accuracy (ETOT): The accuracy represents the maximum deviation of the actual output from its ideal value. This is also known as the
total ouput error. The accuracy is illustrated graphically in the Output Voltage versus Current chart on the following page.
Accuracy is divided into four areas:
• 0 A at 25°C: Accuracy of sensing zero current flow at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
• 0 A over temperature: Accuracy of sensing zero current flow including temperature effects.
• Full-scale current at 25°C: Accuracy of sensing the full-scale current at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
• Full-scale current over ∆ temperature: Accuracy of sensing full-scale current flow including temperature effects.

Definitions of Dynamic Response Characteristics
Propagation delay (tPROP): The time required for the sensor 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.

current sensor, 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 and, to varying degrees, in the ferrous flux concentrator
within the current sensor package.
