ACS723
High-Accuracy, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC
with Small Footprint SOIC8 Package
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Patented integrated digital temperature compensation
circuitry allows for near closed loop accuracy over
temperature in an open loop sensor
DESCRIPTION
TheAllegro™ ACS723 current sensor IC is an economical and
precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
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.
• UL60950-1 (ed. 2) certified
□ Dielectric Strength Voltage = 2.4 kVrms
□ Basic Isolation Working Voltage = 420 Vpk/297 Vrms
• Industry-leading noise performance with greatly
improved bandwidth through proprietary amplifier and
filter design techniques
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. 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 includes Allegro’s patented digital
temperature compensation, resulting in extremely accurate
performance over temperature. 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 0.65 mΩ typical, providing
low power loss.
• Pin-selectable bandwidth: 80 kHz for high bandwidth
applications or 20 kHz for low-noise performance
• 0.65 mΩ primary conductor resistance for low power
loss and high inrush current withstand capability
• Small footprint, low-profile SOIC8 package suitable for
space-constrained applications
• Integrated shield virtually eliminates capacitive
coupling from current conductor to die, greatly
suppressing output noise due to high dv/dt transients
• 4.5 to 5.5 V, single supply operation
• Output voltage proportional to AC or DC current
• Factory-trimmed sensitivity and quiescent output voltage
for improved accuracy

The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 5 through 8). This allows the
ACS723 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.
