Using Allegro Current Sensors in Current Divider Configurations for Extended Measurement Range
a 0 to ±300 A measurement range. A simulation of this is shown in figure 16.
The resulting signal-to-noise ratio is al­most 1.5 times that realized when using a single ACS754 with an uninterrupted current shunt path. If a larger output signal range is desired, the gain may be adjusted by varying the resistor value ratio R8 / R7.
Although the ACS754-150 was used in this case study, by using dual ACS754-200 devices, up to 400 A may be measured with this same config­uration and interface circuit. In all configurations, careful attention must be paid to safely matching the bus bar size and heat sinking capacity with the operating current levels.
CONCLUSION
Through careful board design of split current paths, and by programming device sensitivity

after assembly if needed, the Allegro ACS7xx family of devices can be used to measure ex­tended current ranges. For further assistance with a split current path design, please contact your local Allegro sales office and consult with a field applications engineer.
