ACS724 Automotive Grade, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC With Common Mode Field Rejection in a Small Footprint SOIC8 Package FEATURES AND BENEFITS DESCRIPTION * Differential Hall sensing rejects common mode fields * 1.2 m primary conductor resistance for low power loss and high inrush current withstand capability * Integrated shield virtually eliminates capacitive coupling from current conductor to die, greatly suppressing output noise due to high dv/dt transients * Industry-leading noise performance with greatly improved bandwidth through proprietary amplifier and filter design techniques * High bandwidth 120kHz analog output for faster response times in control applications * Filter pin allows user to filter the output for improved resolution at lower bandwidth * Patented integrated digital temperature compensation circuitry allows for near closed loop accuracy over temperature in an open loop sensor * Small footprint, low-profile SOIC8 package suitable for space-constrained applications * Filter pin simplifies bandwidth limiting for better resolution at lower frequencies The AllegroTM ACS724 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 m typical, providing low power loss. Continued on the next page...

If there is an average sensitivity error or average offset voltage, then the average Total Error is estimated as: 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 components 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: 2 Total Error (% of Current Measured) ETOT (IP) = ESENS + ( 100 x VOE Sens x IP ETOTAVG (IP) = ESENSAVG + 100 x VOEAVG Sens x IP The resulting total error will be a sum of ETOT and ETOT_AVG. Using these equations and the 3 sigma distributions for Sensitivity Error and Offset Voltage, the Total Error vs. sensed current (IP) is below for the ACS724LLCTR-20AB. As expected, as one goes towards zero current, the error in percent goes towards infinity due to division by zero. 2 ) 8 6 -40C + 3 4 -40C - 3 2 25C + 3 0 25C - 3 -2 85C + 3 -4 85C - 3 -6 -8 0 5 10 15 20 Current (A) Figure 1: Predicted Total Error as a Function of the Sensed Current for the ACS724LLCTR-20AB Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com 15 ACS724 Automotive Grade, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC With Common Mode Field Rejection in a Small Footprint SOIC8 Package 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 amplifier 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: VIOUT(IPR(max)) - VIOUT(Q) ELIN = 1- * 100(%) 2 * VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) - VIOUT(Q) Increasing VIOUT (V) Accuracy at 25C Only IPR(min) ETOT (IP) = +IP (A) VIOUT(Q) -IP (A) Full Scale IP IPR(max) 0A Accuracy at 25C Only Decreasing VIOUT (V) Accuracy Across Temperature Figure 1: Output Voltage versus Sensed Current +ETOT Offset Voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device output from its ideal quiescent value of 0.5 x VCC (bidirectional) or 0.1 x VCC (unidirectional) due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this voltage to amperes, divide by the device sensitivity, Sens. Total Output Error (ETOT). The difference between the current 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: Accuracy at 25C Only Ideal VIOUT Accuracy Across Temperature 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 x VCC for a bidirectional device and 0.1 x VCC for a unidirectional device. For example, in the case of a bidirectional output device, VCC = 5.0 V translates into VIOUT(Q) = 2.5 V. Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim and thermal drift. Accuracy Across Temperature Across Temperature 25C Only -IP +IP VIOUT_ideal(IP) - VIOUT (IP) * 100 (%) Sensideal(IP) * IP 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 Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output voltages versus IP at 25C and across temperature. Figure 2 shows the corresponding ETOT versus IP . -ETOT Figure 2: Total Output Error versus Sensed Current Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com 16 Automotive Grade, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC With Common Mode Field Rejection in a Small Footprint SOIC8 Package ACS724 Sensitivity Ratiometry Coefficient (SENS_RAT_COEF). The coefficient defining how the sensitivity scales with VCC. The ideal coefficient is 1, meaning the sensitivity scales proportionally 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 equation: Sens(VCC ) = Sens(5 V) 1+ (VCC - 5 V) * SENS_RAT_COEF 5V This can be rearranged to define the sensitivity ratiometry coefficient as: SENS_RAT_COEF = Sens(VCC ) 5V -1 * (VCC - 5 V) Sens(5 V) 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 proportionality 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(VCC ) = VIOUTQ(5 V) 1+ (VCC - 5 V) * QVO_RAT_COEF 5V This can be rearranged to define the zero current output ratiometry coefficient as: QVO_RAT_COEF = VIOUTQ(VCC ) 5V -1 * (VCC - 5 V) VIOUTQ(5 V) Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com 17 ACS724 Automotive Grade, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC With Common Mode Field Rejection in a Small Footprint SOIC8 Package DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS Power-On Time (tPO). 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 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.

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 (-3 dB) = 0.35 / tr. Both tr and tRESPONSE are detrimentally affected by eddy current losses observed in the conductive IC ground plane. 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.
