Not to scale
The Allegro™ ACS71240 current sensor IC is an economical
and precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
automotive, commercial, and communications applications.
The device consists of a precise, low-offset linear Hall sensor
circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface
of the die. Applied current flowing through this copper path
generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated Hall
IC and converted into a proportional voltage. The resistance of
the integrated conductor is far less than typical sense resistors,
which reduces power loss and improves efficiency.
Rejection of external common-mode magnetic fields is
achieved through differential sensing, enabling high accuracy
in magnetically noisy environments. A precise voltage
proportional to the measured current is generated by the low-
offset, chopper-stabilized Hall front end.
Zero ampere output voltage and device sensitivity are
programmed at the Allegro factory to provide a high accuracy
solution across the full automotive temperature range.
The ACS71240 includes an integrated fault comparator for
simplified overcurrent detection. The ultrafast response time
provides the system with ample time to detect and protect
against short-circuit events.
The ACS71240 is provided in small, low-profile surface-mount
package options: QFN-12 with wettable flank and SOIC-8. The
leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin, which is compatible
with standard lead (Pb) free printed circuit board assembly
processes. Internally, the device is Pb-free, except for flip-
chip high-temperature Pb-based solder balls, currently exempt
from RoHS. The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment
from the factory.

Power-On Time (tPO)
When the supply is ramped to its operating voltage, the device
requires a finite amount of time to power its internal compo-
nents before responding to an input magnetic field. Power-On
Time (tPO) is defined as the time interval between a) the power
supply has reached its minimum specified operating voltage
(VCC(min)), and b) when the sensor output has settled within
±10% of its steady-state value under an applied magnetic field.

device stays in this state until the voltage reaches a point at which

illustrates the intended power on/off. A pull-down resistor was

DEFINITIONS OF ACCURACY CHARACTERISTICS
Sensitivity (Sens). The change in sensor IC output in response to
a 1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the
product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) (1 G = 0.1 mT)
and the linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC ampli-
fier gain is programmed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity
(mV/A) for the full-scale current of the device.
Nonlinearity (ELIN). The nonlinearity is a measure of how linear
the output of the sensor IC is over the full current measurement
range. The nonlinearity is calculated as:
E=
LIN

V(I)–V
IOUT PR(max) IOUT(Q)

IOUT PR(max) IOUT(Q)
• 100(%)
Zero-Current Output Voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the
sensor when the primary current is zero. For unipolar devices
this value will be 10% of operating voltage, 0.5 V and 0.33 V for
5 V and 3.3 V respectively. For bidirectional devices, the output
will be 50% of the operating voltage, 2.5 V and 1.65 V for 5 V
and 3.3 V devices respectively. Since the ACS71240 is a non-
ratiometric part, these values will be stable over VCC variations.
Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to the resolution of the
Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim and thermal drift.
Offset Voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device output from its
ideal quiescent value due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this
voltage to amperes, divide by the device sensitivity, Sens.
Total Output Error (ETOT). The difference between the cur-
rent measurement from the sensor IC and the actual current (IP),
relative to the actual current. This is equivalent to the difference
between the ideal output voltage and the actual output voltage,
divided by the ideal sensitivity, relative to the current flowing
through the primary conduction path:

The Total Output Error incorporates all sources of error and is a
function of IP. At relatively high currents, ETOT will be mostly
due to sensitivity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will
be mostly due to Offset Voltage (VOE). In fact, at IP = 0, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset. This is illustrated in Figure
2 and Figure 3. Figure 2 shows a distribution of output voltages
versus IP at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 3 shows the cor-
responding ETOT versus IP .

Fault Behavior
The ACS71240 is available with both a latched and unlatched
FAULT pin output. Unless otherwise stated, the default operation
is unlatched. Contact Allegro for more details.
Unlatched Fault Behavior
In the event that the FAULT pin is unlatched, the FAULT output
will only assert while an overcurrent condition is present. When
an overcurrent condition occurs, the FAULT pin will be pulled
low within FAULT response time, tFAULT. When the overcurrent
condition is removed, another tFAULT will delay the release of the
line, after which the FAULT line will return to VCC with a time
constant based on the pull-up resistor and line capacitance (refer
to Figure 4).
Latched Fault Behavior
In the event that the fault pin is latched, the FAULT output will
assert when an overcurrent condition is present. The FAULT
pin will remain latched even after the overcurrent condition has
subsided. The FAULT pin will remain asserted until the device is
power-cycled.
Fault Filtering
To prevent nuisance tripping while in latched mode, the
ACS71240 is available with a variety of minimum fault times,
which are the minimum period a fault event must be present
before the FAULT pin will latch. This minimum period, tMASK,
may be 0 µs, 0.5 µs, or 1 µs, and is available upon request. Con-
tact Allegro for more details.
In latched mode, there is an additional delay of 1 clock cycle
(tCLK < 150 ns) after the overcurrent event occurs. The fault
behavior for latched and unlatched modes are shown in Figure 5
and Figure 6.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Thermal Rise vs. Primary Current
Self-heating due to the flow of current should be considered dur-
ing the design of any current sensing system. The sensor, printed
circuit board (PCB), and contacts to the PCB will generate heat as
current moves through the system.
The thermal response is highly dependent on PCB layout, copper
thickness, cooling techniques, and the profile of the injected current.
The current profile includes peak current, current “on-time”, and
duty cycle. While the data presented in this section was collected
with direct current (DC), these numbers may be used to approximate
thermal response for both AC signals and current pulses.
The plots in Figure 7 and Figure 9 show the measured rise in steady-
state die temperature of the ACS71240 in the LC package and EX
package, respectively, versus continuous current at an ambient
temperature, TA, of 25 °C. The thermal offset curves may be directly
applied to other values of TA. Figure 8 and Figure 10 show the maxi-
mum continuous current at a given TA. Surges beyond the maximum
current listed in Figure 8 and Figure 10 are allowed given the maxi-
mum junction temperature, TJ(MAX) (165℃), is not exceeded.

Due to Current Flow
Figure 8: Maximum Continuous Current
in the LC package at a Given TA
Figure 9: Self Heating in the EX Package

Figure 10: Maximum Continuous Current
in the EX package at a Given TA
The thermal capacity of the ACS71240 should be verified by the
end user in the application’s specific conditions. The maximum
junction temperature, TJ(MAX) (165℃), should not be exceeded.
Further information on this application testing is available in
the DC and Transient Current Capability application note on the
Allegro website.
ASEK71240 Evaluation Board Layout

Common-Mode Field Rejection
The ACS71240 features two Hall-effect sensors used differen-
tially in order to eliminate stray field. The two sensors are placed
on opposite sides of the current loop. This allows the common
magnetic field to be determined and removed before the signal
is sent to the end user. Despite this common field rejection, it is
always best practice to reduce the amount of stray fields around
the current sensor as much as possible. See the Allegro Applica-
tions note on reducing common mode field for more details.
