ACS71240 Current Sensor Carriers

We are offering these breakout boards with support from Allegro Microsystems as an easy way to use or evaluate their ACS71240 Hall effect-based linear current sensors. The following list details some of the sensor’s key features:

• Differential Hall sensing rejects common-mode fields, so the orientation of the sensor relative to uniform external magnetic fields (e.g. the Earth’s magnetic field) does not affect the measurement.
• The conductive path internal resistance is typically 0.6 mΩ, and the PCB is made with 2-oz copper, so very little power is lost in the module.
• Use of a Hall effect sensor means the IC is able to electrically isolate the current path from the sensor’s electronics, which allows the sensor to be inserted anywhere along the current path and to be used in applications that require electrical isolation.
• High 120 kHz bandwidth for fast response times in control applications.
• Overcurrent fault output with 1.5 µs response time indicates when the current exceeds the optimized sensing range.
• Dedicated 3.3V and 5V versions available.
• Output is not ratiometric (i.e. the zero point and sensitivity are independent of the actual supply voltage), which provides immunity from noisy supplies.
• Integrated digital temperature compensation circuitry allows for near closed loop accuracy over temperature in an open loop sensor.
• Automotive-grade operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
• 0.7″×0.8″ carrier board offers a variety of ways to insert it into the current path and 0.1″-pitch (breadboard compatible) power, ground, and output pins.
