Description
The Allegro ACS75x family of current sensor ICs provides
economical and precise solutions for current sensing in
industrial, automotive, commercial, and communications
systems. The device package allows for easy implementation by
the customer. Typical applications include motor control, load
detection and management, power supplies, and overcurrent
fault protection.
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 which the Hall IC converts into a
proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the
close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer.
A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the low-offset,
chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed
for accuracy at the factory.
The output of the device has a positive slope (>VCC
/ 2) 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 typically 130 μΩ, providing low power loss. The thickness
of the copper conductor allows survival of the device at up to

2 Variant is in production but has been determined to be NOT FOR NEW DESIGN. This classification indicates that sale of the variant is cur-
rently restricted to existing customer applications. The variant should not be purchased for new design applications because obsolescence in

5× overcurrent conditions. The terminals of the conductive path are
electrically isolated from the signal leads (pins 1 through 3). This
allows the ACS75x family of sensor ICs to be used in applications
requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or
other costly isolation techniques.
The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment from the factory.
The ACS75x family is lead (Pb) free. All pins are coated with
100% matte tin, and there is no lead inside the package. The
heavy gauge leadframe is made of oxygen-free copper.

Sensitivity (Sens). The change in device output in response to a
1 A change through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the
product of the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) and the linear
IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifier gain is pro-
grammed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for the
full-scale current of the device.
Noise (VNOISE). The product of the linear IC amplifier gain
(mV/G) and the noise floor for the Allegro Hall effect linear IC
(1 G). The noise floor is derived from the thermal and shot
noise observed in Hall elements. Dividing the noise (mV) by the
sensitivity (mV/A) provides the smallest current that the device is
able to resolve.
Linearity (ELIN). The degree to which the voltage output from
the IC varies in direct proportion to the primary current through
its full-scale amplitude. Nonlinearity in the output can be attrib-
uted to the saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the
full-scale current. The following equation is used to derive the
linearity:
where
gain = the gain variation as a function of temperature
changes from 25ºC,
% sat = the percentage of saturation of the flux concentra-
tor, which becomes significant as the current being sampled
approaches full-scale ±IP , and
VIOUT_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the
sampled current approximates full-scale ±IP .
Symmetry (ESYM). The degree to which the absolute voltage
output from the IC varies in proportion to either a positive or
negative full-scale primary current. The following equation is
used to derive symmetry:
Quiescent output voltage (VIOUT(Q)). The output of the device
when the primary current is zero. For a unipolar supply voltage,
it nominally remains at VCC 2. Thus, VCC = 5 V translates into
VIOUT(Q) = 2.5 V. Variation in VOUT(Q) can be attributed to the res-
olution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim, magnetic
hysteresis, and thermal drift.
Electrical offset voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device out-
put from its ideal quiescent value of VCC 2 due to nonmagnetic
causes.
Magnetic offset error (IERROM). The magnetic offset is due to
the residual magnetism (remnant field) of the core material. The
magnetic offset error is highest when the magnetic circuit has
been saturated, usually when the device has been subjected to a
full-scale or high-current overload condition. The magnetic offset
is largely dependent on the material used as a flux concentrator.
The larger magnetic offsets are observed at the lower operating
temperatures.
Accuracy (ETOT). The accuracy represents the maximum devia-
tion of the actual output from its ideal value. This is also known
as the total output error. The accuracy is illustrated graphically in
the output voltage versus current chart on the following page.
Accuracy is divided into four areas:
 0 A at 25°C. Accuracy at the zero current flow at 25°C, with-
out the effects of temperature.
 0 A over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the zero current flow
including temperature effects.
 Full-scale current at 25°C. Accuracy at the the full-scale current
at 25°C, without the effects of temperature.
 Full-scale current over Δ temperature. Accuracy at the full-
scale current flow including temperature effects.

Propagation delay (tPROP). The time required for the device
output to reflect a change in the primary current signal. Propaga-
tion delay is attributed to inductive loading within the linear IC
package, as well as in the inductive loop formed by the primary
conductor geometry. Propagation delay can be considered as a
fixed time offset and may be compensated.

Rise time (tr). The time interval between a) when the device
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 bandwidth of the device, 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.
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.
