ACS770xCB
Thermally Enhanced, Fully Integrated, Hall-Effect-Based
High-Precision Linear Current Sensor IC with 100 µΩ Current Conductor
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Industry-leading total output accuracy achieved with new
piecewise linear digital temperature compensation of
offset and sensitivity
The Allegro™ ACS770 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.
• Industry-leading noise performance through proprietary
amplifier and filter design techniques
• 120 kHz typical bandwidth
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 that is concentrated by a low
magnetic hysteresis core, then converted by the Hall IC 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. Proprietary digital
temperature compensation technology greatly improves the
IC accuracy and temperature stability without influencing the
high-bandwidth operation of the analog output.
• 4.1 µs output rise time in response to step input current
• 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
• Greatly improved total output error through digitally
programmed and compensated gain and offset over the
full operating temperature range
• Small package size, with easy mounting capability
• Monolithic Hall IC for high reliability
• Ultralow power loss:100 µΩ internal conductor
resistance
• Galvanic isolation allows use in economical, high-side
current sensing in high-voltage systems
High-level immunity to current conductor dV/dt and stray
electricfieldsisofferedbyAllegroproprietaryintegratedshield
technology for low output voltage ripple and low offset drift
in high-side, high-voltage applications.
• 4.5 to 5.5 V, single supply operation
• Output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents
• Factory-trimmed for accuracy
• Extremely stable output offset voltage
The output of the device has a positive slope (>VCC/2 for
bidirectional devices) when an increasing current flows
through the primary copper conduction path (from terminal 4
to terminal 5), which is the path used for current sampling. The
internal resistance of this conductive path is 100 µΩ typical,
providing low power loss.

Application 1: the ACS770 outputs an analog
signal, VOUT, that varies linearly with the
bidirectional AC or DC primary sampled cur-
rent, IP, within the range specified. RF and
CF are for optimal noise management, with
