• High-bandwidth 250 kHz analog output economical and precise solutions for AC or DC current sensing.
• Less than 2 μs output response time A 250 kHz bandwidth makes it ideal for motor control, load
• 3.3 V and 5 V supply operation detection and management, power supply and DC-to-DC
• Ultralow power loss: 200 μΩ internal conductor converter control, and inverter control. The <2 µs response
resistance time enables overcurrent fault detection in safety-critical
• Industry-leading noise performance and increased applications.

• Small package size, with easy mounting capability proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the
• Monolithic Hall IC for high reliability close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer.
• Output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents A precise, proportional output voltage is provided by the
• Factory-trimmed for accuracy low-offset, chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is
• Extremely stable zero amp output offset voltage over programmed for accuracy at the factory. Proprietary digital
temperature and lifetime temperature compensation technology greatly improves the
zero output voltage and output sensitivity accuracy over
temperature and lifetime.
The output of the device increases when an increasing current
PACKAGE: flows through the primary copper conduction path (from
7-pin PSOF package (suffix LR) terminal 5 to terminal 6), which is the path used for current
sampling. The internal resistance of this conductive path is
200 μΩ typical, providing low power loss and increasing power
density in the application.
The sensor employs differential sensing techniques that virtually
eliminate output disturbance due to common-mode interfering
magnetic field.

The Total Output Error incorporates all sources of error and is a +ETOT
function of IP.
At relatively high currents, ETOT will be mostly due to sensitiv-
ity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will be mostly due
to Offset Voltage (VOE). In fact, as IP approaches zero, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset voltage. This is illustrated Across Temperature
in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output
voltages versus IP at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 2 25°C Only

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.

exceeds VUVLOD [7] , UVLO will be disabled after tUVLOD ,
and the output will be VCC / 2 [8].
• Power-Down. As VCC ramps down below VUVLOE [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 ouput will be pulled near
GND [10]. The output will enter a high-impedance state as
VCC goes below VPORL [11]. If VCC falls below VPORL before
the UVLO Enable Couner reaches tUVLOE , the output will
transition directly into a high-impedance state [7’].

Nominal Supply Voltage = 3.3V If VCC drops below VPORH [3′] but remains higher than VPORL

The descriptions in this section assume: temperature = 25°C, no

Power-Up As VCC ramps down below VPORL [3, 5’], the output will enter a

At power-up, as VCC ramps up, the output is in a high-impedance

CHOPPER STABILIZATION TECHNIQUE

The distance between the device and the conductor, d, is the
distance from the device center to the center of the conductor. Other Layout Practices to Consider
The width of the current path is w. The angle between the device When laying out a board that contains an Allegro current sensor
and the current path, θ, is defined as the angle between a straight IC with CMR, the direction and proximity of all current-carrying
line connecting the two Hall plates and a line perpendicular to the paths are important, but they are not the only factors to consider
current path. when optimizing IC performance. Other sources of stray fields
that can contribute to system error include traces that connect to
the IC’s integrated current conductor, as well as the position of
nearby permanent magnets.
The way that the circuit board connects to a current sensor IC
must be planned with care. Common mistakes that can impact
performance are:

I • The angle of approach of the current path to the IP pins
d
θ
• Extending the current trace too far beneath the IC
H1
THE ANGLE OF APPROACH

One common mistake when using an Allegro current sensor IC
is to bring the current in from an undesirable angle. Figure 12
shows an example of the approach of the current traces to the IC
w (in this case, the ACS72981). In this figure, traces are shown for
IP+ and IP–. The light green region is the desired area of approach

ENCROACHMENT UNDER THE IC

In the LR package, the encroachment of the current-carrying
trace under the device actually changes the path of the current
flowing through the IP bus. This can cause a change in the cou-
pling factor of the IP bus to the IC and can significantly reduce
device performance. Using ANSYS Maxwell Electromagnetic
Suites, the current density and magnetic field generated from the
current flow were simulated. In Figure 13, there are results from
two different simulations. The first is the case where the current
trace leading up to the IP bus terminates at the desired point. The
second case is where the current trace encroaches far up the IP
bus. The red arrows in both simulations represent the areas of Figure 13: Simulations of ACS72981 Leadframe with
high current density. In the simulation with no excess overlap, the Different Overlap of the Current Trace and the IP Bus
red areas, and hence the current density, are very different from
the simulation with the excess overlap. It was also observed that
the field on H1 was larger when there was no excess overlap.
This can be observed by the darker shade of blue.
