ALLEGRO ACS71240KEXBLT-030B5

The Allegro ACS71240 current sensor IC is an economical and precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial, automotive, commercial, and communications applications. 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 path generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated Hall IC and converted into a proportional voltage. The resistance of the integrated conductor is far less than typical sense resistors, which reduces power loss and improves efficiency. Rejection of external common-mode magnetic fields is achieved through differential sensing, enabling high accuracy in magnetically noisy environments. A precise voltage proportional to the measured current is generated by the low-offset, chopper-stabilized Hall front end. Zero ampere output voltage and device sensitivity are programmed at the Allegro factory to provide a high accuracy solution across the full automotive temperature range. The ACS71240 includes an integrated fault comparator for simplified overcurrent detection. The ultrafast response time provides the system with ample time to detect and protect against short-circuit events.
