ACS71020
Single Phase, Isolated, Power Monitoring IC
with Voltage Zero Crossing and Overcurrent Detection
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Accurate power monitoring for both AC and DC applications
• UL certification for reinforced isolation up to 517 VRMS in
a single package
• Accurate measurements of active, reactive, and apparent
power, as well as power factor
• Separate RMS and instantaneous measurements for both
voltage and current channels
• 0.85 mΩ primary conductor resistance for low power loss
and high inrush current withstand capability
• Dedicated voltage zero crossing pin
• Overcurrent fault output pin
• Hall-effect-based current measurement with common-
mode stray field rejection
• User-programmable undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds
for input voltage as well as overcurrent fault thresholds
• 1 kHz bandwidth
TheAllegroACS71020 power monitoring IC greatly simplifies
the addition of power monitoring to many AC or DC powered
systems.Thesensormaybepoweredfromthesamesupplyasthe

Allegro’s Hall-effect-based galvanically isolated current
sensing technology achieves reinforced isolation ratings in a
small PCB footprint. These features enable isolated current
sensing without expensive Rogowski coils, oversized current
transformers, isolated operational amplifiers, or the power loss
of shunt resistors.
The ACS71020 power monitoring IC offers key power
measurement parameters that can easily be accessed through its
SPIorI2Cdigitalprotocolinterfaces.Dedicatedandconfigurable
I/Opinsforvoltagezerocrossing,undervoltageandovervoltage
reporting, and overcurrent fault detection are also available (in
I2C mode). The thresholds for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
overcurrent are all user-programmable via EEPROM.
• Current-sensing range from 0 to 90 A
• Options for I2C or SPI digital interface protocols
• User-programmable EEPROM and integrated charge pump
• 16-bit voltage and current ADCs
