The device is offered in a small footprint surface mount package that allows easy implementation in customer applications. Package: 16-pin SOIC Hall Effect IC Package (suffix LA) The ACS710 consists of a precision linear Hall sensor integrated circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface of the silicon die. Applied current flows through the copper conduction path, and the analog output voltage from the Hall sensor linearly tracks the magnetic field generated by the applied current. The accuracy of the ACS710 is maximized with this patented packaging configuration because the Hall element is situated in extremely close proximity to the current to be measured. High level immunity to current conductor dV/dt and stray electric fields, offered by Allegro proprietary integrated shield technology, results in low ripple on the output and low offset drift in high-side, high voltage applications. The voltage on the Overcurrent Input (VOC pin) allows customers to define an overcurrent fault threshold for the device. When the current flowing through the copper conduction path (between the IP+ and IP– pins) exceeds this threshold, the open drain Overcurrent Fault pin will transition to a logic low state. Factory programming of the linear Hall sensor inside of the ACS710 results in exceptional accuracy in both analog and digital output signals. The internal resistance of the copper path used for current sensing is typically 1 mΩ, for low power loss. Also, the current conduction path is electrically isolated from the low voltage Approximate Scale 1:1 Continued on the next page… Typical Application Circuit 1 2 3 4 IP 5 6 7 8 IP+ IP+ IP+ FAULT_EN ACS710 VOC VCC IP+ FAULT IP– VIOUT IP– FILTER IP– VZCR IP– GND ACS710-DS, Rev. 8 16 Fault_EN RH VCC RH, RL 15 14 12 11 RPU COC COC 0.1 μF B CF 1 nF A Noise and bandwidth limiting filter capacitor Fault delay setting capacitor, 22 nF maximum A Use of capacitor required B Use of resistor optional, 330 kΩ recommended.

The device contains ratiometry circuits that accurately alter the 0 A Output Voltage and Sensitivity level of the device in proportion to the applied VCC level. However, as a result of minor nonlinearities in the ratiometry circuit, additional output error will result when VCC varies from the VCC level at which the device was programmed. Customers that plan to operate the device at a VCC level other than the VCC level at which the device was programmed should contact their local Allegro sales representative regarding expected device accuracy levels under these bias conditions. 2R F(INT) forms an RC circuit via the FILTER pin. 3This parameter can drift by as much as 0.8% over the lifetime of this product. 4This parameter can drift by as much as 1% over the lifetime of this product. 5See page 8 on how to set overcurrent fault switchpoint. 6Switchpoint can be lower at the expense of switchpoint accuracy. 7This error specification does not include the effect of noise. See the I NCOMP specification in order to factor in the additional influence of noise on the fault switchpoint. 8Fault Enable Delay is designed to avoid false tripping of an Overcurrent (OC) fault at power-up. A 15 μs (typical) delay will always be needed, every time FAULT_EN is raised from low to high, before the device is ready for responding to any overcurrent event. 9During power-up, this delay is 15 μs in order to avoid false tripping of an Overcurrent (OC) fault.

Various applications have or need to be able to ignore certain faults that are due to switching noise or other parasitic phenomena, which are application dependant. The problem with simply trying to filter out this noise in the main signal path is that in high-speed applications, with asymmetric noise, the act of filtering introduces an error into the measurement.

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 modulation-demodulation 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. 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.

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 programmed 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. 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. Nonlinearity in the output can be attributed to the saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the full-scale current. The following equation is used to derive the linearity: { [ 100 1– VIOUT_full-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q) 2 (VIOUT_1/2 full-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q) ) [{ 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 Δ 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 Δ temperature. Accuracy of sensing fullscale current flow including temperature effects. Ratiometry. The ratiometric feature means that its 0 A output, VIOUT(Q), (nominally equal to VCC/2) and sensitivity, Sens, are proportional to its supply voltage, VCC . The following formula is used to derive the ratiometric change in 0 A output voltage, VIOUT(Q)RAT (%). 100 VCC / 5 V The ratiometric change in sensitivity, SensRAT (%), is defined as: where VIOUT_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the sensed current approximates full-scale ±IP . 100 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 output of the sensor when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply voltage, it nominally remains at 0.5×VCC. 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. Electrical offset voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device output from its ideal quiescent voltage due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this voltage to amperes, divide by the device sensitivity, Sens. 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.
