ACS770xCB
Description
The Allegro ACS770 family of current sensor ICs provides
economical and precise solutions for AC or DC current sensing.
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

Definitions of Accuracy Characteristics
Characteristic Definitions
Sensitivity (Sens). The change in device 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 pro-
grammed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the
half-scale current of the device.
Noise (VNOISE). 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.
Nonlinearity (ELIN). The ACS770 is designed to provide a linear
output in response to a ramping current. Consider two current
levels, I1 and I2. Ideally, the sensitivity of a device is the same
for both currents, for a given supply voltage and temperature.
Nonlinearity is present when there is a difference between the
sensitivities measured at I1 and I2. Nonlinearity is calculated
separately for the positive (ELINpos ) and negative (ELINneg )
applied currents as follows:
E
LINpos = 100 (%) × {1 – (SensIPOS2 / SensIPOS1
) }
E
LINneg = 100 (%) × {1 – (SensINEG2 / SensINEG1
)}
where:
SensIx = (VIOUT(Ix)VIOUT(Q))/ Ix
and IPOSx and INEGx are positive and negative currents.
Then:
E
LIN = max( ELINpos , ELINneg )
Ratiometry. The device features a ratiometric output. This
means that the quiescent voltage output, VIOUTQ, and the mag-
netic sensitivity, Sens, are proportional to the supply voltage, VCC.
The ratiometric change (%) in the quiescent voltage output is
defined as:

and the ratiometric change (%) in sensitivity is defined as:

$Sens($V
Sens(VCCSens(V
Quiescent output voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the device
when the primary current is zero. For bidirectional current flow,
it nominally remains at VCC 2. Thus, VCC = 5 V translates into
VIOUT(QBI) = 2.5 V. For unidirectional devices, when VCC = 5 V,
VIOUT(QUNI) = 0.5 V. Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to
the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim,
magnetic hysteresis, and thermal drift.
Electrical offset voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device
output from its ideal quiescent value of VCC 2 for bidirectional
sensor ICs and 0.5 V for unidirectional sensor ICs, due to non-
magnetic causes.
Magnetic offset error (IERROM). The magnetic offset is due to
the residual magnetism (remnant field) of the core material. The
magnetic offset error is highest when the magnetic circuit has
been saturated, usually when the device has been subjected to a
full-scale or high-current overload condition. The magnetic offset
is largely dependent on the material used as a flux concentrator.
Total Output Error (ETOT). The maximum deviation of the
actual output from its ideal value, also referred to as accuracy,
illustrated graphically in the output voltage versus current chart
on the following page.
ETOT is divided into four areas:
 0 A at 25°C. Accuracy at the zero current flow at 25°C, with-
out the effects of temperature.
 0 A over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the zero current flow
including temperature effects.
 Full-scale current at 25°C. Accuracy at the full-scale current at
25°C, without the effects of temperature.
 Full-scale current over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the full-
scale current flow including temperature effects.

output reaches 20% of its final value.
Rise Time (tr). The time interval between a) when the device
reaches 10% of its full scale value, and b) when it reaches 90%
of its full scale value. Both tr and tRESPONSE are detrimentally
affected by eddy current losses observed in the conductive IC
ground plane.
Response Time (tRESPONSE) The time interval between a) when
the applied current reaches 80% of its final value, and b)
when the sensor reaches 80% of its output corresponding to the
applied current.
Temperature Compensation Power-On Time (tTC ). After
Power-On Delay, tPOD , elapses, tTC also is required before a valid
temperature compensated output.
Power-On Delay (tPOD). When the supply is ramped to its
operating voltage, the device requires a finite time to power its
internal components before responding to an input magnetic field.
Power-On Delay, tPOD , is defined as the time it takes for the out-
put voltage to settle within ±10% of its steady state value under
an applied magnetic field, after the power supply has reached its
minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min), as shown in the
chart at right.

Power-On Reset Voltage (VPOR ) At power-up, to initialize to a
known state and avoid current spikes, the ACS770 is held in Reset
state. The Reset signal is disabled when VCC reaches VUVLOH and
time tPORR has elapsed, allowing output voltage to go from a high
impedance state into normal operation. During power-down, the
Reset signal is enabled when VCC reaches VPORL , causing output
voltage to go into a high impedance state. (Note that a detailed
description of POR and UVLO operation can be found in the
Functional Description section.)
Power-On Reset Release Time (tPORR) When VCC rises to
VPORH , the Power-On Reset Counter starts. The ACS770 output
voltage will transition from a high impedance state to normal
operation only when the Power-On Reset Counter has reached
tPORR and VCC has exceeded VUVLOH .
Undervoltage Lockout Threshold (VUVLO ) If VCC drops below
VUVLOL , output voltage will be locked to GND. If VCC starts
rising, the ACS770 will come out of the locked state when VCC
reaches VUVLOH .
UVLO Enable/Disable Delay Time (tUVLO ) When a falling VCC
reaches VUVLOL , time tUVLOE is required to engage Undervoltage
Lockout state. When VCC rises above VUVLOH , time tUVLOD is
required to disable UVLO and have a valid output voltage.

Functional Description
The descriptions in this section assume:
Temperature = 25°C,
VCC = 5 V,
no output load, and
no significant current flow through the sensor IC.
Voltage levels shown are specific to a bidirectional ACS770,
however the POR and UVLO functionality described also applies
to unidirectional sensors.
The reference numbers section refer to figures 1 and 2.
Power-Up At power-up, as VCC ramps up, the output is in a
high impedance state. When VCC crosses VPORH (location [1]
in figure 1 and [ 1 ] in figure 2), the POR Release counter starts
counting for tPORR
. At this point, if VCC exceeds VUVLOH
[ 2 ], the output will go to VCC / 2 after tUVLOD [ 3 ] .
If VCC does not exceed VUVLOH [2], the output will stay in
the high impedance state until VCC reaches VUVLOH [3] and
then will go to VCC / 2 after tUVLOD [ 4 ].
VCC drops below VCC(min) = 4.5 V If VCC drops below VUV-
LOL [ 4, 5 ] , the UVLO Enable Counter starts counting. If VCC is
still below VUVLOL when the counter reaches tUVLOE
, the UVLO
function will be enabled and the ouput will be pulled near
GND [ 6 ] . If VCC exceeds VUVLOL before the UVLO Enable
Counter reaches tUVLOE [ 5 ] , the output will continue to be
VCC / 2.
Coming Out of UVLO While UVLO is enabled [ 6 ] , if
VCC exceeds VUVLOH [ 7 ] , UVLO will be disabled after
tUVLOD , and the output will be VCC / 2 [ 8 ] .
Power-Down As VCC ramps down below VUVLOL [ 6, 9 ] , the
UVLO Enable Counter will start counting. If VCC is higher than
VPORL when the counter reaches tUVLOE , the UVLO function
will be enabled and the output will be pulled near GND [ 10 ] .
The output will enter a high impedance state as VCC goes below
VPORL [ 11 ] . If V
CC falls below VPORL before the
UVLO Enable Counter reaches tUVLOE , the output will transition
directly into a high impedance state [ 7 ].

Concept of Chopper Stabilization Technique
When using Hall-effect technology, a limiting factor for
switchpoint accuracy is the small signal voltage devel-
oped across the Hall element. This voltage is dispropor-
tionally small relative to the offset that can be produced
at the output of the Hall sensor IC. This makes it diffi-
cult to process the signal while maintaining an accurate,
reliable output over the specified operating temperature
and voltage ranges.
Chopper stabilization is a unique approach used to
minimize Hall offset on the chip. Allegro employs a
patented technique to remove key sources of the output
drift induced by thermal and mechanical stresses. This
offset reduction technique is based on a signal modula-
tion-demodulation process. The undesired offset signal
is separated from the magnetic field-induced signal in
the frequency domain, through modulation. The sub-
sequent demodulation acts as a modulation process for
the offset, causing the magnetic field-induced signal to
recover its original spectrum at baseband, while the DC
offset becomes a high-frequency signal. The magnetic-
sourced signal then can pass through a low-pass filter,
while the modulated DC offset is suppressed.
In addition to the removal of the thermal and stress
related offset, this novel technique also reduces the
amount of thermal noise in the Hall sensor IC while
completely removing the modulated residue result-
ing from the chopper operation. The chopper stabi-
lization technique uses a high-frequency sampling
clock. For demodulation process, a sample-and-hold
technique is used. This high-frequency operation
allows a greater sampling rate, which results in higher
accuracy and faster signal-processing capability. This
approach desensitizes the chip to the effects of thermal
and mechanical stresses, and produces devices that
have extremely stable quiescent Hall output voltages
and precise recoverability after temperature cycling.
This technique is made possible through the use of a
BiCMOS process, which allows the use of low-offset,
low-noise amplifiers in combination with high-density
logic integration and sample-and-hold circuits.
