The Allegro ACS722 current sensor IC is an economical and
precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
commercial, and communications systems. The small package
is ideal for space constrained applications while also saving
costs due to reduced board area. Typical applications include
motor control, load detection and management, switched-mode
power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection.
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
conduction path generates a magnetic field which is sensed by
the integrated Hall IC and converted into a proportional voltage.
Device accuracy is optimized through the close proximity of the
magnetic field to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional
voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopper-stabilized
BiCMOS Hall IC, which includes Allegro’s patented digital
temperature compensation, resulting in extremely accurate
performance over temperature. The output of the device has
a positive slope when an increasing current flows through the
primary copper conduction path (from pins 1 and 2, to pins 3
and 4), which is the path used for current sensing. The internal
resistance of this conductive path is 0.65 mΩ typical, providing
low power loss.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 5 through 8). This allows the
ACS722 current sensor IC to be used in high-side current sense
applications without the use of high-side differential amplifiers
or other costly isolation techniques.
The ACS722 is provided in a small, low profile surface mount
SOIC8 package. The leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin,

The ACS722 outputs an analog
signal, VIOUT , that changes,
proportionally, with the
bidirectional AC or DC primary
sensed current, IP , within
the specified measurement
range. The BW_SEL pin can
be used to select one of the
two bandwidths to optimize the
noise performance. Grounding
the BW_SEL pin puts the part
in the high bandwidth (80 kHz)
mode.

Sensitivity (Sens)
The change in sensor IC output in response to a 1 A change
through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the product of
the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) (1 G = 0.1 mT)and the
linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifier gain is
programmed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for
the full-scale current of the device.
Nonlinearity (ELIN)
The nonlinearity is a measure of how linear the output of the sen-
sor IC is over the full current measurement range. The nonlinear-
ity is calculated as:
1–
[{
[{
VIOUT
(IPR(max)) VIOUT(Q) × 100 (%)
ELIN = 2 × VIOUT
(IPR(max)/2) VIOUT(Q)
where VIOUT(IPR(max)) is the output of the sensor IC with the
maximum measurement current flowing through it and
VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) is the output of the sensor IC with half of the
maximum measurement current flowing through it.
Zero Current Output Voltage (VIOUT(Q))
The output of the sensor when the primary current is zero. For
a unipolar supply voltage, it nominally remains at 0.5 × VCC for
a bidirectional device and 0.1 × VCC for a unidirectional device.
For example, in the case of a bidirectional output device, VCC =
3.3 V translates into VIOUT(Q) = 1.65 V. Variation in VIOUT(Q) can
be attributed to the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent
voltage trim and thermal drift.
Offset Voltage (VOE)
The deviation of the device output from its ideal quiescent value
of 0.5 × VCC (bidirectional) or 0.1 × VCC (unidirectional) due to
nonmagnetic causes. To convert this voltage to amperes, divide
by the device sensitivity, Sens.
Total Output Error (ETOT)
The difference between the current measurement from the sensor
IC and the actual current (IP), relative to the actual current. This
is equivalent to the difference between the ideal output voltage
and the actual output voltage, divided by the ideal sensitivity,
relative to the current flowing through the primary conduction
path:

due to sensitivity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will
be mostly due to Offset Voltage (VOE
). In fact, at IP = 0, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset. This is illustrated in Figures
1 and 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output voltages versus IP
at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 2 shows the correspond-
ing ETOT versus IP .

Impact of External Magnetic Fields
The ACS722 works by sensing the magnetic field created by the
current flowing through the package. However, the sensor cannot
differentiate between fields created by the current flow and exter-
nal magnetic fields. This means that external magnetic fields can
cause errors in the output of the sensor. Magnetic fields which are
perpendicular to the surface of the package affect the output of
the sensor, as it only senses fields in that one plane. The error in
Amperes can be quantified as:
Error(B) =
B
CF
where B is the strength of the external field perpendicular to the
surface of the package in Gauss, and CF is the coupling factor in
G/A. Then, multiplying by the sensitivity of the part, Sens, gives
the error in mV.
For example, an external field of 1 Gauss will result in around
0.1 A of error. If the ACS722LLCTR-10AB, which has a nominal
sensitivity of 132 mV/A, is being used, that equates to 13.2 mV
of error on the output of the sensor.

DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Power-On Time (tPO)
When the supply is ramped to its operating 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 IC reaches 10% of
its full scale value, and b) when it reaches 90% of its full scale
value. The rise time to a step response is used to derive the band-
width of the current sensor IC, in which ƒ(–3 dB) = 0.35 / tr. Both
tr and tRESPONSE are detrimentally affected by eddy current losses
observed in the conductive IC ground plane.
Propagation Delay (tpd
)
The propagation delay is measured as the time interval a) when
the primary current signal reaches 20% of its final value, and b)
when the device reaches 20% of its output corresponding to the
applied current.
Response Time (tRESPONSE)
The time interval between a) when the primary current signal
reaches 90% of its final value, and b) when the device reaches
90% of its output corresponding to the applied current.
