Vrms
• Industry-leading noise performance with greatly
improved bandwidth through proprietary amplifier and
filter design techniques
• Pin-selectable band width: 80 kHz for high bandwidth
applications or 20 kHz for low noise performance
• 0.65 mΩ primary conductor resistance for low power
loss and high inrush current withstand capability
• Small footprint, low-profile SOIC8 package suitable for
space-constrained applications
• Integrated shield virtually eliminates capacitive coupling
from current conductor to die, greatly suppressing output
noise due to high dv/dt transients
• 3 to 3.6 V, single supply operation

DESCRIPTION
The Allegro
™
ACS722 current sensor IC is an economical and
precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
commercial, and communications systems. The small package
is ideal for space constrained applications while also saving
costs due to reduced board area. Typical applications include
motor control, load detection and management, switched-mode
power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection.
The device consists of a precise, low-offset, 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 field to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional
voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopper-stabilized
BiCMOS Hall IC, which includes Allegro’s patented digital
temperature compensation, resulting in extremely accurate
performance over temperature. The output of the device has
a positive slope when an increasing current flows through the
primary copper conduction path (from pins 1 and 2, to pins 3
and 4), which is the path used for current sensing. The internal
resistance of this conductive path is 0.65 mΩ typical, providing
low power loss.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 5 through 8). This allows the
ACS722 current sensor IC to be used in high-side current sense
applications without the use of high-side differential amplifiers
or other costly isolation techniques.
The ACS722 is provided in a small, low profile surface mount
SOIC8 package. The leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin,

proportionally, with the
bidirectional AC or DC primary
sensed current, I

, within
the specified measurement
range. The BW_SEL pin can
be used to select one of the
two bandwidths to optimize the
noise performance. Grounding
the BW_SEL pin puts the part
in the high bandwidth (80 kHz)
mode.
