Description
The Allegro ACS755 family of current sensors provides
economical and precise solutions for DC 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 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, chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which
is programmed for accuracy at the factory.
The output of the device will be valid when a 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 100
μΩ
typical,
providing low power loss.

ACS755xCB-130
Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor
with High Voltage Isolation and a Low-Resistance Current Conductor
Description (continued)
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 ACS755 family of sensors to be used in applications
requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or
other costly isolation techniques.
The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment from the factory.
The ACS75x family is lead (Pb) free. All leads are plated with
100% matte tin, and there is no Pb inside the package. The heavy
gauge leadframe is made of oxygen-free copper.

Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor
with High Voltage Isolation and a Low-Resistance Current Conductor
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 pro-
grammed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the
full-scale current of the device.
Noise (V
NOISE
).
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 (E
LIN
).
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:

IOUT(Q)
it nominally remains at 0.6. Variation in V
IOUT(Q)
can be attributed
to the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim
and thermal drift.
Electrical offset voltage (V
OE
).
The deviation of the device out-
put from its ideal quiescent value due to nonmagnetic causes.
Magnetic offset error (I
ERROM
).
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 (E
TOT
).
The accuracy represents the maximum devia-
tion 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
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 full-
scale current flow including temperature effects.
