ACS755xCB-100

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 load detection and management, power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection.

The device ACS755xCB-100 consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction path located near the die. Applied current fl owing through this copper conduction path generates a magnetic fi eld 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 output of the device ACS755xCB-100 will be valid when the current fl ows from pin 4 to pin 5.The internal resistance of this conductive path is typically 100 , 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.

The device ACS755xCB-100 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.
