ACS761

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ACS761 is a 12V application integrated controller by Allegro MicroSystems, combining Hall-effect current sensing with a hot-swap controller. It eliminates the need for a shunt resistor, reducing power path losses.
Specifications: Operates within 10.8 to 13.2 V supply voltage, with 1.5 mΩ internal conductor resistance. Provides 2 kV ESD protection and operates from -40 to 85 ºC.
Features and Benefits: Includes Hall-effect current monitor, PGOOD indication, analog output voltage proportional to current, and external high-side FET gate drive. Offers 240V*A power fault protection, overcurrent protection, and fault isolation in under 2 μs.
Protection Mechanisms: Three levels of fault protection: Power Fault, Overcurrent Fault, and Short Circuit protection. Faults indicated via Fault pin, cleared by reasserting enable high.
Pin Configuration: Housed in a 24-pin QSOP package. Key pins: IP+ and IP- for current conduction, EN for enabling, VIOUT for analog output, GATE for MOSFET drive.
Operating Characteristics: Linear sensing range of 0 to 55 A, typical supply current of 8 mA. UVLO threshold of 10.5 V for enabling, 7.0 V for disabling. VIOUT analog output propagation time of 2 μs, rise time of 5 μs.
Fault Characteristics: Fault signal delays for overpower and overcurrent conditions adjustable via external capacitors. Overpower fault threshold from 221 to 238 W, typical signal delay of 11 μs.
Accuracy and Sensitivity: Sensitivity of 65 mV/A, nonlinearity of ±0.5% to ±1%. Zero current output voltage of 0.2 V, total error less than ±1.0% at 25°C.
Application: Suitable for high-side hot-swap applications, providing efficient current monitoring and protection in 12 V systems.
Functional Description: Features PGood indication, timing diagram for fault conditions, and GATE pin for MOSFET control. Ramp rate determined by capacitor on CG pin.
Fault Operations: Describes overpower, soft short circuit, and hard short circuit fault operations with timing diagrams. Fault signals latch and reset when EN pin transitions low.
Root Cause Analysis: Fault Condition Truth Table helps diagnose faults by monitoring pin voltages, outlining probable causes.
Current Mode Operation: Operates in pure current mode by grounding OPDLY pin, disabling overpower fault condition.
Application Information: Includes packaging details, cautions against life support device use, PCB layout reference, and branding information.

ACS761ELF-20B 12 V High-Side Hot-Swap Hall Effect Based Current Monitor IC Features and Benefits ▪ Hall-effect current monitor—no external sense resistor required ¯¯¯ ¯ ¯ PG ¯¯¯¯ ▪ PGOOD and ¯¯¯ OOD indication ▪ Analog output voltage (factory trimmed for gain and offset) proportional to applied current ▪ External high-side FET gate drive ▪ 240V*A power fault protection with user-selectable delay ▪ Overcurrent fault protection with user-selectable delay ▪ Fault protection isolates failed supply from output in < 2 μs ▪ 1.5 mΩ internal conductor resistance ▪ Active low latched Fault indicator output signal ▪ User controlled soft start / hot-swap function ▪ Logic enable input pin ▪ 10.8 to 13.2 V, single-supply operation ▪ 2 kV ESD protection for all pins The ACS761 combines Allegro™ Hall-effect current sense technology with a hot-swap controller resulting in a more efficient integrated controller for 12 V applications. By eliminating the need for a shunt resistor, the I2R losses in the power path are reduced. When the ACS761 is externally enabled, and the voltage rail is above the internal UVLO threshold, the internal charge pump drives the gate of the external FET. When the load voltage reaches its target value PGOOD is asserted high. When a fault is detected, the gate is disabled while simultaneously alerting the application that a fault has occurred. The integrated protection in the ACS761 incorporates three levels of fault protection, which includes a Power Fault with user-selectable delay, an Overcurrent Fault threshold with userselectable delay, and Short Circuit protection, which disables the gate in less than 2 μs. These faults are indicated to the host system via the Fault pin and are cleared upon reasserting enable high. Package: 24 pin QSOP (suffix LF) Approximate Scale

12 V High-Side Hot-Swap Hall Effect Based Current Monitor IC Functional Description Soft Start and Fault Characteristics Gate turn on rise time, tGR. Set by external capacitance, CG, on the CG pin, such that CG = 7.5 × tGR , where CG is in F and tGR is rise time in seconds. For example, a 3.9 F capacitor connected from the CG pin to GND (without an output load) will yield a rise time of approximately 500 ms: CG 7.5 × 0.5 s = 3.75 F, 3.9 F (a common capacitor value). When the CG pin is kept open, the ACS761 has a minimum tGR of 1 ms typical. It is important to select values for CG and the FET...
