The Allegro™ ACS725 current sensor IC is an economical and
precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
automotive, commercial, and communications systems. The
small package is ideal for space-constrained applications
while also saving costs due to reduced board area. Typical
applications include motor control, load detection and
management, switched-mode power supplies, and overcurrent
fault protection.
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
conduction path generates a magnetic field which is sensed
by the integrated Hall IC and converted into a proportional
voltage. The current is sensed differentially in order to reject
common-mode fields, improving accuracy in magnetically
noisy environments. The inherent device accuracy is optimized
through the close proximity of the magnetic field to the Hall
transducer. A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the
low-offset, chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is
programmed for accuracy after packaging. The output of the
device has a positive slope when an increasing current flows
through the primary copper conduction path (from pins 1 and
2, to pins 3 and 4), which is the path used for current sensing.
The internal resistance of this conductive path is 1.2 mΩ typical,
providing low power loss.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 5 through 8). This allows the
ACS725 current sensor IC to be used in high-side current sense
applications without the use of high-side differential amplifiers
or other costly isolation techniques.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Estimating Total Error vs. Sensed Current
The Performance Characteristics tables give distribution (±3
sigma) values for Total Error at IPR(max); however, one often
wants to know what error to expect at a particular current. This
can be estimated by using the distribution data for the compo-
nents of Total Error, Sensitivity Error, and Offset Voltage. The
±3 sigma value for Total Error (ETOT) as a function of the sensed
current (IP) is estimated as:
E(I) =
TOTP E+
SENS
2100 × VOE
2
Sens × IP
()
Here, ESENS and VOE are the ±3 sigma values for those error
terms. If there is an average sensitivity error or average offset
voltage, then the average Total Error is estimated as:
E(I) = E+
TOTP SENS
100 × VOE
Sens × IP
AVGAVG
AVG
The resulting total error will be a sum of ETOT and ETOT_AVG.
Using these equations and the 3 sigma distributions for Sensitiv-
ity Error and Offset Voltage, the Total Error vs. sensed current
(IP) is below for the ACS725LLCTR-20AB. As expected, as one
goes towards zero current, the error in percent goes towards infin-
ity due to division by zero.

Thermal Rise vs. Primary Current
Self-heating due to the flow-off 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 cur-
rent. 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 plot in Figure 2 shows the measured rise in steady-state die
temperature of the ACS725 versus DC input current at an ambi-
ent temperature, TA, of 25 °C. The thermal offset curves may be
directly applied to other values of TA.
Figure 2: Self Heating in the LA Package
Due to Current Flow
The thermal capacity of the ACS725 should be verified by the
end user in the application’s specific conditions. The maximum
junction temperature, TJ(MAX) (165°C), 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.
ASEK724/5 Evaluation Board Layout
Thermal data shown in Figure 2 was collected using the
ASEK724/5 Evaluation Board (TED-85-0740-003). This board
includes 1500 mm2 of 2 oz. copper (0.0694 mm) connected to
pins 1 and 2, and to pins 3 and 4, with thermal vias connecting
the layers. Top and bottom layers of the PCB are shown below in
Figure 3.

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
1–
V(I)–V
IOUT PR(max) IOUT(Q)
2•V(I /2) –V
IOUT PR(max) IOUT(Q)
• 100(%)
where VIOUT(IPR(max)) is the output of the sensor IC with the
maximum measurement current flowing through it and
VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) is the output of the sensor IC with half of the
maximum measurement current flowing through it.
Zero Current Output Voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the
sensor when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply
voltage, it nominally remains at 0.5 × VCC for a bidirectional
device and 0.1 × VCC for a unidirectional device. For example, in
the case of a bidirectional output device, VCC = 3.3 V translates
into VIOUT(Q) = 1.65 V. 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 of 0.5 × VCC (bidirectional) or 0.1 × VCC
(unidirectional) due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this volt-
age 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:
E(I)
TOTP
V(I)–V (I )
IOUT_ideal PIOUT P
Sens (I )•I
ideal PP
• 100 (%)
=
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
4 and Figure 5. Figure 4 shows a distribution of output voltages
versus IP at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 5 shows the cor-
responding ETOT versus IP .

Sensitivity Ratiometry Coefficient (SENS_RAT_COEF). The
coefficient defining how the sensitivity scales with VCC. The
ideal coefficient is 1, meaning the sensitivity scales proportion-
ally with VCC. A 10% increase in VCC results in a 10% increase
in sensitivity. A coefficient of 1.1 means that the sensitivity
increases by 10% more than the ideal proportionality case. This
means that a 10% increase in VCC results in an 11% increase in
sensitivity. This relationship is described by the following equa-
tion:
Sens(V ) = Sens(3.3 V)
CC
(V – 3.3 V) • SENS_RAT_COEF

This can be rearranged to define the sensitivity ratiometry coef-

Zero Current Output Ratiometry Coefficient (QVO_RAT_
COEF). The coefficient defining how the zero current output
voltage scales with VCC. The ideal coefficient is 1, meaning the
output voltage scales proportionally with VCC, always being
equal to VCC/2. A coefficient of 1.1 means that the zero current
output voltage increases by 10% more than the ideal proportion-
ality case. This means that a 10% increase in VCC results in an
11% increase in the zero current output voltage. This relationship
is described by the following equation:
VIOUTQ(V ) = VIOUTQ(3.3 V)
CC
(V – 3.3 V) •QVO_RAT_COEF

DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Power-On Time (tPO). When the supply is ramped to its operat-
ing voltage, the device requires a finite time to power its internal
components before responding to an input magnetic field.
Power-On Time, tPO , is defined as the time it takes for the output
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.
Rise Time (tr). The time interval between a) when the sensor IC
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 IC, 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.
Response Time (tRESPONSE). The time interval between a) when
the primary current signal reaches 90% of its final value, and b)
when the device reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the
applied current.
Propagation Delay (tpd
). The propagation delay is measured
as the time interval a) when the primary current signal reaches
20% of its final value, and b) when the device reaches 20% of its
output corresponding to the applied current.
