ACS710 Current Sensor IC Frequently-Asked Questions

ACS710电流传感器系列具有以下优点:
  • User-adjustable OC fault level
  • High speed OC fault response (<2 µs)
  • Wide bandwidth of 120 kHz
  • Low noise, hence better current resolution
  • Wide-body package provides greater creepage and clearance distances for line-powered applications
  • Higher isolation voltage allows higher working voltage
When mounted on the Allegro ASEK710 evaluation board (or any application board thermally similar to the ASEK710 evaluation board) the ACS710 package allows a maximum continuous current of 25 A at a maximum ambient temperature of 125°C. This sets the "optimized accuracy range," IPOA, for continuous input current. The "linear sensing range" is three times IPOA, and is appropriate for applications that monitor the inrush current or transient overcurrent, which are higher than the continuous current under normal operation. The ACS710 can linearly sense transient currents with amplitudes up to three times IPOA. (See also the FAQ "What does the characterization data look like at the sensor IC full linear sensing range, IR?") This feature is used in applications such as motor control, and power conversion and management.
是。只需将Fault_en引脚连接到/故障输出引脚(如图1所示),以实现自动故障复位。该配置使电路用作当前比较器。(有关输入和输出信号波形的图2中的示波器图。)建议使用电容器,COC,以避免/故障引脚处的任何可能的故障。它应该是适当的值,通常大于1nf,取决于噪声环境和所需的故障响应时间。

是。The ACS710 family uses Hall-effect technology, which is capable of sensing electrical currents having both DC and AC components. As the datasheet states, the bandwidth of the ACS710 is 120 kHz typical. There may be phase lag and amplitude attenuation of the output for AC currents with frequency content greater than 120 kHz. For transient current signals, the response time is ≈ 4 µs.
This feature is particularly valuable when using the ACS710 with an analog-to-digital converter. A-to-D converters typically derive their LSB from a reference voltage input. If the reference voltage varies, the LSB will vary proportionally. The ratiometric feature of the ACS710 means its gain and offsets are proportional to its supply voltage, VCC. If the reference voltage and the supply voltage for the ACS710 are derived from the same source, the ACS710 and the A-to-D converter will both track those variations, and such variations will not be a source of error in the analog-to-digital conversion of the ACS710 output. Figure 3 is a plot of primary current, IP, vs output voltage, VOUT, of the ACS710-25C when varying VCC. The offset and sensitivity levels shift proportionally with VCC. For example, when VCC = 5.5 V, the 0 A output is 5.5 ⁄ 2 = 2.75 V nominal, and the sensitivity is 30.8 mV/A nominal.

Allegro recommends the use of a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between the VCC pin and the GND pin. The capacitor should be located as close as practicable to the ACS710 package body. Use of other external components depends on the application; please refer to Typical Application section of thedatasheet.
No, the ACS710 sensitivity and 0-ampere quiescent voltage level are programmed by Allegro.
ACS710的传感器IC系列的当前分辨率受到器件输出信号的噪声底部的限制。例如,ACS710-12C版本可以在完全带宽下在25°C下解决约163 mA的电流级别的变化。ACS710-25C版本可以解析大约213 mA。在这些水平,耦合到线性霍尔效应IC的磁场的量恰好在其噪声地板之上。通过过滤需要较低带宽的应用的ACS710的输出,可以显着提高分辨率。亚博尊贵会员通过滤波可实现的各种带宽的噪声水平和设备输出电流分辨率在ACS710-12C的表1中给出,以及ACS710-25C的表2中给出。通过由内部电阻RF(int)(典型值1.7kΩ)和外部滤波电容器CF组成的简单,一阶RC滤波器完成过滤。

ACS710应用中的间隙距离通常等于传感器封装的相对侧上的焊盘之间的距离。基于数据表中推荐的焊盘布局,它衡量:
9.50 - 2×(2.25 / 2)= 7.25(mm)。

The creepage distance on the surface of the sensor IC package measures approximately: 7.50 + 2.00 = 9.50 (mm)

The creepage distance on the surface of the printed circuit board on which the sensor IC is mounted may be increased, if necessary, by cutting a slit on the board between the solder pads on opposite sides of the sensor IC package. Refer to figure 4.

假设:
A. The current carrying conductor is on the same plane as the Hall element, and
B.导体具有无限的长度
The result based on above assumptions will be the worst case result in terms of the influence of the stray field generated by the current carrying conductor on the Hall element.
The magnetic field generated in the direction perpendicular to the plane in which the conductor and the Hall element lie, at the distance l to the conductor will be:
β=μ×I /(2π×L)(Tesla)
Where:

µ = µ0 = 4π × 10-7(H/m) = 400π(nH/m), assuming no core material around,

I is in amperes, the current flowing in the conductor, and

L is in meters, the distance between the point under consideration and the conductor.

The analysis is based on the fact that the magnetic coupling coefficient of ACS710 family is typically 9.5 gauss per ampere (0.95 mT/A).

The graph in figure 5 shows absolute current error caused by a current carrying conductor which lies in the same plane as the Hall element, at various distances. The percentage error relative to full range and be calculated as:

err =(绝对当前错误/ IP)×100(%)

The typical time to valid output is given in table 3 and in figure 8 (IP = 0 A, VCC = 5 V) and figure 9 (IP = 12.5 A, VCC = 5 V). However, we recommend a 3X to 5X safety margin to account for power-on time variation over process and temperature ranges.
