ACS75
The Allegro ACS752 family of current sensors provides economical and precise
solutions for current sensing in industrial, commercial, and communications sys-
4
tems. The device package allows easy implementation by the customer. Typical
5
applications include: motor control, load detection and management, switched
mode power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection.
The sensor consists of a precision linear Hall IC, which is optimized to an internal
magnetic circuit to increase device sensitivity. The combination of a precisely
controlled self-aligning assembly process (patents pending), and the factory pro-
grammed precision of the linear Hall sensor, result in high-level performance and
3 product uniformity.

The primary conductor used for current sensing (terminals 4 and 5) is designed
Pin 1: VCC Terminal 4: Ip+ for extremely low power loss. These power terminals also are electrically isolated
Pin 2: Gnd Terminal 5: Ip- from the sensor leads (pins 1, 2, and 3). This allows the ACS752 family of sen-
Pin 3: Output sors to be used in applications requiring electrical isolation, without using opto-
isolators or other costly isolation techniques.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS The output of this device has a positive slope (>VCC / 2) when an increasing cur-

Current Sensor: ACS752SCA-050
Sensitivity (Sens): The change in sensor output in response to a 1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the
product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) and the linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifier gain is trimmed at the
factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the full-scale current of the device.
Noise (VNOISE): The product of the linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G) and the noise floor for the Allegro Hall effect linear IC (≈1 G).
The noise floor is derived from the thermal and shot noise observed in Hall elements. Dividing the noise (mV) by the sensitivity (mV/
A) provides the smallest current that the device is able to resolve.
Linearity (ELIN): The degree to which the voltage output from the sensor varies in direct proportion to the primary current through
its full-scale amplitude. Linearity reveals the maximum deviation from the ideal transfer curve for this transducer. Nonlinearity in the
output can be attributed to the gain variation across temperature and saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the full-scale cur-
rent. The following equation is used to derive the linearity:
{ [
100 1–
��gain ��% sat ( Vout_full-scale amperes – VOUT(Q) )
2 (Vout_half-scale amperes – VOUT(Q) ) [{
where
∆ gain = the gain variation as a function of temperature changes from 25ºC,
% sat = the percentage of saturation of the flux concentrator, which becomes significant as the current
being sensed approaches full-scale ±IP , and
Vout_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the sensed current approximates full-scale ±IP .
Symmetry (ESYM): The degree to which the absolute voltage output from the sensor varies in proportion to either a positive or nega-
tive full-scale primary current. The following equation is used to derive symmetry:

Current Sensor: ACS752SCA-050
Propagation delay (tPROP): The time required for the sensor output to reflect a change in the primary current
signal. Propagation delay is attributed to inductive loading within the linear IC package, as well as in the induc-
tive loop formed by the primary conductor geometry. Propagation delay can be considered as a fixed time offset
and may be compensated.

Response time (tRESPONSE): The time interval between a) when the primary current signal reaches 90% of its
final value, and b) when the sensor reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the applied current.

Rise time (tr): The time interval between a) when the sensor reaches 10% of its full scale value, and b) when
it reaches 90% of its full scale value. The rise time to a step response is used to derive the bandwidth of the
current sensor, in which ƒ(–3 dB) = 0.35 / tr. Both tr and tRESPONSE are detrimentally affected by eddy current
losses observed in the conductive IC ground plane and, to varying degrees, in the ferrous flux concentrator
within the current sensor package.
