• Output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents applications include circuit protection, current monitoring,
• ±12.5 A and ±25 A full-scale sensing ranges on LC package and motor and inverter control.
• ±15.5 A and ±31 A full-scale sensing ranges on EX package The device consists of a linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper
• Overcurrent F̄¯Ā¯Ū¯L̄¯T̄¯ trips and latches at 100% of full-scale conduction path located near the surface of the die. Applied
current current flowing through this copper conduction path generates
• Low-noise analog signal path
a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated Hall IC
• 100 kHz bandwidth
• Small footprint, low-profile SOIC8 and QFN packages
and converted into a proportional voltage. Device accuracy is
• 3 to 5.5 V single supply operation optimized through the close proximity of the magnetic signal
• Integrated electrostatic shield for output stability to the Hall transducer.
• Factory-trimmed for accuracy The output of the device has a positive slope proportional to
• Extremely stable output offset voltage the current flow from IP+ to IP– (pins 1 and 2, to pins 3 and
• Zero magnetic hysteresis
4). The internal resistance of this conductive path is 0.6 mΩ
• Ratiometric output from supply voltage
for the EX package, and 1.2 mΩ for the LC package, providing
a non-intrusive measurement interface that saves power in
PACKAGES: applications that require energy efficiency.
The ACS711 is optimized for low-side current sensing
applications, although the terminals of the conductive path
are electrically isolated from the sensor IC leads, providing
sufficient internal creepage and clearance dimensions for a
low AC or DC working voltage applications. The thickness
12-contact QFN of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to
3 mm × 3 mm × 0.75 mm

[1] Devices are programmed for maximum accuracy at 3.3 V VCC levels. The device contains ratiometry circuits that accurately alter the 0 A Output
Voltage and Sensitivity level of the device in proportion to the applied VCC level. However, as a result of minor nonlinearities in the ratiometry
circuit additional output error will result when VCC varies from the 3.3 V VCC level. Customers that plan to operate the device from a 5 V regulated
supply should contact their local Allegro sales representative regarding expected device accuracy levels under these bias conditions.

[3] After the F̄ Ū¯L̄
¯ T̄¯  pin is latched low, the only way to reset it is through a power-off and power-on cycle on the VCC pin. For fault reset, VCC must
stay below VCCFR for a period greater than tCCFR before settling to the normal operation voltage (3 to 5.5 V).

DEFINITIONS OF ACCURACY CHARACTERISTICS

Sensitivity (Sens). The change in sensor output in response to a Accuracy (ETOT). The accuracy represents the maximum devia-
1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the tion of the actual output from its ideal value. This is also known
product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) and the linear as the total ouput error. The accuracy is illustrated graphically in
IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifier gain is pro- the output voltage versus current chart below.

DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS

Power-On Time (tPO). When the supply is ramped to its operat-

ing 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.

Rise time (tr). The time interval between a) when the sensor I (%) Primary Current
reaches 10% of its full scale value, and b) when it reaches 90% 90
of its full scale value. The rise time to a step response is used to
derive the bandwidth of the current sensor, in which ƒ(–3 dB) =
