ACS714

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ACS714 is a Hall Effect-based linear current sensor IC designed for precise AC or DC current sensing in automotive systems. It offers high accuracy and a small footprint, suitable for applications like motor control, load detection, and overcurrent protection. The sensor provides 2.1 kVRMS voltage isolation and features a low-resistance current conductor.
Specifications: The ACS714 operates with a 5.0 V single supply, featuring a low-noise analog signal path, 80 kHz bandwidth, and a 5 μs output rise time. It has an internal conductor resistance of 1.2 mΩ and provides an output voltage proportional to the sensed current. The device is available in models optimized for various current ranges (±5A, ±20A, ±30A, ±50A) with sensitivities from 40 mV/A to 185 mV/A. It maintains accuracy over a temperature range of –40°C to 150°C.
Performance Characteristics: The ACS714 is factory-trimmed for precision and provides electrical isolation between the conductive path and signal leads. It complies with safety standards such as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 and UL 60950-1:2003. Key performance metrics include sensitivity, linearity, symmetry, and quiescent output voltage.
Dynamic Response Characteristics: The sensor features a rise time of 5 μs and a power-on time for internal component activation. It uses a chopper stabilization technique to minimize offset voltage and output drift due to temperature or package stress.
Applications: Typical applications include motor control, load detection, switch-mode power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection. The device is suitable for environments requiring electrical isolation and high reliability. Specific applications include overcurrent fault latch, peak detecting circuit, rectified output, and gain increase configurations.
Improving Accuracy: The document discusses using an RC filter to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in low-frequency sensing applications. It warns of potential signal attenuation due to the resistive divider effect between the filter resistor and the customer interface circuit. The ACS714's internal architecture helps eliminate this attenuation.
Design Considerations: Guidelines for PCB layout emphasize matching resistance values to minimize temperature-induced signal attenuation. The document includes package dimensions and branding details.
Legal and Safety Notices: Allegro MicroSystems reserves the right to modify specifications for performance improvements. The document includes a disclaimer regarding the use of Allegro products in life support devices and advises users to verify the currency of the information before placing orders.

ACS714 Automotive Grade, Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor IC with 2.1 kVRMS Voltage Isolation and a Low-Resistance Current Conductor Features and Benefits The Allegro™ ACS714 provides economical and precise solutions for AC or DC current sensing in automotive systems. The device package allows for easy implementation by the customer. Typical applications include motor control, load detection and management, switch-mode power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection. Low-noise analog signal path Device bandwidth is set via the FILTER pin 5 μs output rise time in response to step input current 80 kHz bandwidth Total output error 1.5% typical, at TA = 25°C Small footprint, low-profile SOIC8 package 1.2 mΩ internal conductor resistance 2.1 kVRMS minimum isolation voltage from pins 1-4 to pins 5-8 5.0 V, single supply operation 66 to 185 mV/A output sensitivity Output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents Factory-trimmed for accuracy Extremely stable output offset voltage Nearly zero magnetic hysteresis Ratiometric output from supply voltage Operating temperature range, –40°C to 150°C TÜV America Certificate Number: U8V 06 05 54214 010 The device consists of a precise, low-offset, linear Hall 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 the Hall IC converts 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 after packaging. The output of the device has a positive slope (>VIOUT(Q)) 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 sampling. The internal resistance of this conductive path is 1.2 mΩ typical, providing low power loss. The thickness of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to 5× overcurrent conditions.

The ACS714 outputs an analog signal, VOUT . that varies linearly with the uni- or bi-directional AC or DC primary sampled current, IP , within the range specified. CF is recommended for noise management, with values that depend on the application.
