ACS758xCB
Thermally Enhanced, Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based
Linear Current Sensor IC with 100 μΩ Current Conductor
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Industry-leading noise performance through proprietary
amplifier and filter design techniques
The Allegro® ACS758 family of current sensor ICs provides
economicalandprecisesolutionsforACorDCcurrentsensing.
Typical applications include motor control, load detection and
management, power supply and DC-to-DC converter control,
inverter control, and overcurrent fault detection.
▪ Integrated shield greatly reduces capacitive coupling from
current conductor to die due to high dV/dt signals, and
prevents offset drift in high-side, high voltage applications
▪ Total output error improvement through gain and offset
trim over temperature
▪ Small package size, with easy mounting capability
▪ Monolithic Hall IC for high reliability
▪ Ultra-low power loss:100 μΩ internal conductor resistance
▪ Galvanic isolation allows use in economical, high-side
current sensing in high voltage systems
▪ 3.0 to 5.5 V, single supply operation
▪ 120 kHz typical bandwidth
▪ 3 μs output rise time in response to step input current
▪ Output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents
▪ Factory-trimmed for accuracy
The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall
circuit with a copper conduction path located near the die.
Applied current flowing through this copper conduction path
generates a magnetic field which the Hall IC converts into a
proportionalvoltage.Deviceaccuracyisoptimizedthroughthe
close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer.
A precise, proportional output voltage is provided by the
low-offset, chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is
programmed for accuracy at the factory.
High level immunity to current conductor dV/dt and stray
electric fields, offered byAllegro proprietary integrated shield
technology,guaranteeslowoutputvoltagerippleandlowoffset

▪ Extremely stable output offset voltage
▪ Nearly zero magnetic hysteresis

Application 1. The ACS758 outputs an analog signal, VOUT, that
varies linearly with the uni- or bi-directional AC or DC primary
sampled current, IP, within the range specified. CF is for optimal
noise management, with values that depend on the application.
