ACS37220 Current Sensor Carriers

ACS37220 Current Sensor Compact Carrier (top) and Large Carrier (bottom) size comparison.

We are offering these breakout boards with support from Allegro Microsystems as an easy way to use or evaluate their ACS37220 Hall effect-based, electrically isolated current sensors with user-configurable overcurrent fault output. The following list details some of the sensor’s key features:

• Hall effect-based sensor with electrically isolated current path allows the sensor to be inserted anywhere along the current path and to be used in applications that require electrical isolation.
• Extra-low primary current path resistance of 0.1 mΩ in the sensor IC for higher efficiency.
• 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) has less effect on the measurement.
• High-bandwidth 150 kHz analog output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents.
• Less than 4 µs response time.
• Output is not ratiometric (i.e. the zero point and sensitivity are independent of the actual supply voltage), which provides immunity from noisy supplies.
• User-configurable overcurrent fault output with 3 µs response time indicates when the current magnitude exceeds the set threshold and can be used for fast short-circuit detection.
• Integrated digital temperature compensation circuitry allows improved accuracy over the full operating temperature range.
• Automotive-grade operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
• Carrier boards, available in compact and large sizes, offer a variety of ways to insert it into the current path along with 0.1″-pitch (breadboard-compatible) power, ground, and output pins.
• The PCB is made with 2-layer (compact versions) or 6-layer (large versions) 2-oz copper, so very little power is lost in the module.
• 3.3V and 5V versions available.
