DESCRIPTION
The Allegro
™
ACS711 provides economical and precise
solutions for AC or DC current sensing in <100 V audio,
communications systems, and white goods. The device package
allows for easy implementation by the customer. Typical
applications include circuit protection, current monitoring,
and motor and inverter control.
The device consists of a linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper
conduction path located near the surface of 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.
The output of the device has a positive slope proportional to
the current flow from IP+ to IP– (pins 1 and 2, to pins 3 and
4). The internal resistance of this conductive path is 0.6 mΩ
for the EX package, and 1.2 mΩ for the LC package, providing
a non-intrusive measurement interface that saves power in
applications that require energy efficiency.
The ACS711 is optimized for low-side current sensing
applications, although the terminals of the conductive path
are electrically isolated from the sensor IC leads, providing
sufficient internal creepage and clearance dimensions for a
low AC or DC working voltage applications. The thickness
of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to

The ACS711 is provided in small, surface-mount packages: SOIC8
and QFN12. The leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin, which
is compatible with standard lead (Pb) free printed circuit board
assembly processes. Internally, the device is Pb-free, except for
flip-chip high-temperature Pb-based solder balls, currently exempt
from RoHS. The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment from
the factory.

are programmed for maximum accuracy at 3.3 V V
CC
levels. The device contains ratiometry circuits that accurately alter the 0 A Output
Voltage and Sensitivity level of the device in proportion to the applied V
CC
level. However, as a result of minor nonlinearities in the ratiometry
circuit additional output error will result when V
CC
varies from the 3.3 V V
CC
level. Customers that plan to operate the device from a 5 V regulated
supply should contact their local Allegro sales representative regarding expected device accuracy levels under these bias conditions.
