Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive analysis of the Allegro ACS770 family of current sensor ICs, designed for precise AC or DC current sensing. These sensors are applicable in motor control, load detection, power supply management, and overcurrent fault detection.
Specifications: The ACS770 sensors feature a low-offset linear Hall circuit with a copper conduction path, offering a proportional output voltage to the current. They are characterized by high accuracy due to digital temperature compensation, a typical bandwidth of 120 kHz, and operate with a supply voltage of 4.5 to 5.5 V. They are factory-trimmed for accuracy.
Features and Benefits: Key features include high immunity to electric fields, low power loss due to a 100 µΩ internal conductor resistance, and galvanic isolation for high voltage systems. The sensors are UL certified and AEC Q-100 automotive qualified, offering undervoltage lockout and a compact package size for easy mounting.
Performance Characteristics: Detailed performance characteristics are provided for different models, including sensitivity, noise levels, nonlinearity, and total output error. The sensors are designed to handle overcurrent conditions with specific ratings for dielectric strength and isolation voltages.
Applications: Typical applications include motor control, inverter control, and DC-to-DC converter control. The sensors are suitable for high-side current sensing in high voltage systems due to their galvanic isolation capabilities.
Conclusion: The ACS770 family offers a reliable and precise solution for current sensing in various industrial and automotive applications, with features that enhance performance and ensure safety in high voltage environments.
Performance Data: Graphs illustrate the variation of electrical offset voltage, nonlinearity, sensitivity, total output error, and magnetic offset error with ambient temperature. Data is presented with mean values and ±3 sigma deviations.
Key Considerations: Drift over lifetime is a critical parameter influenced by customer application conditions. All parameters are subject to drift over the lifetime, specified for each characteristic. Contact Allegro MicroSystems for further information on drift and application-specific conditions.
Dynamic Response Characteristics: The document details power-on delay, temperature compensation power-on time, rise time, response time, propagation delay, and power-on reset voltage, essential for evaluating the sensor's response to changes in current and voltage.
Chopper Stabilization Technique: This technique reduces Hall offset on the chip, using a modulation-demodulation process to separate the undesired offset signal from the magnetic field-induced signal, enhancing accuracy and reliability.
Design and Packaging: Detailed package outline drawings for the 5-pin, leadform PFF and PSF packages are included, with key dimensions and specifications such as creepage and clearance distances (7.25 mm) and package mass (4.63 g).
Usage and Limitations: Allegro MicroSystems advises against using their products in life support devices or systems where failure could cause bodily harm. Users are advised to verify the currency of the information before placing orders.

Typical applications include motor control, load detection and management, power supply and DC-to-DC converter control, inverter control, and overcurrent fault detection. The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall circuit with a copper conduction path located near the die. Applied current flowing through this copper conduction path generates a magnetic field that is concentrated by a low magnetic hysteresis core, then converted by the Hall IC into a proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional output voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed for accuracy at the factory. Proprietary digital temperature compensation technology greatly improves the IC accuracy and temperature stability without influencing the high bandwidth operation of the analog output. High level immunity to current conductor dV/dt and stray electric fields is offered by Allegro proprietary integrated shield technology for low output voltage ripple and low offset drift in high-side, high voltage applications. The output of the device has a positive slope (>VCC/2 for bidirectional devices) when an increasing current flows through the primary copper conduction path (from terminal 4 to terminal 5), which is the path used for current sampling. The internal resistance of this conductive path is 100 µΩ typical, providing low power loss. The thickness of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at high overcurrent conditions. The terminals of the Continued on the next page… Additional leadforms available for qualifying volumes 5V Application 1: the ACS770 outputs an analog signal, VOUT , that varies linearly with the bidirectional AC or DC primary sampled current, IP , within the range specified. RF and CF are for optimal noise management, with values that depend on the application.
