Description
The Allegro® ACS710 current sensor provides economical and precise means for current sensing applications in industrial, commercial, and communications systems. The device is offered in a small footprint surface mount package that allows easy implementation in customer applications. The ACS710 consists of a precision linear Hall sensor integrated circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface of the silicon die. Applied current flows through the copper conduction path, and the analog output voltage from the Hall sensor linearly tracks the magnetic field generated by the applied current. The accuracy of the ACS710 is maximized with this patented packaging configuration because the Hall element is situated in extremely close proximity to the current to be measured. High level immunity to current conductor dV/dt and stray electric fields, offered by Allegro proprietary integrated shield technology, results in low ripple on the output and low offset drift in high-side, high voltage applications. The voltage on the Overcurrent Input (VOC pin) allows customers to define an overcurrent fault threshold for the device. When the current flowing through the copper conduction path (between the IP+ and IP– pins) exceeds this threshold, the open drain Overcurrent Fault pin will transition to a logic low state. Factory programming of the linear Hall sensor inside of the ACS710 results in exceptional accuracy in both analog and digital output signals. The internal resistance of the copper path used for current sensing is typically 1 mΩ, for low power loss. Also, the current conduction path is electrically isolated from the low voltage ACS710-DS, Rev. 8 Features and Benefits ▪ Industry-leading noise performance with greatly improved bandwidth through proprietary amplifier and filter design techniques ▪ Small footprint package suitable for space-constrained

The device contains ratiometry circuits that accurately alter the 0 A Output Voltage and Sensitivity level of the device in proportion to the applied VCC level. However, as a result of minor nonlinearities in the ratiometry circuit, additional output error will result when VCC varies from the VCC level at which the device was programmed. Customers that plan to operate the device at a VCC level other than the VCC level at which the device was programmed should contact their local Allegro sales representative regarding expected device accuracy levels under these bias conditions. 2RF(INT) forms an RC circuit via the FILTER pin. 3This parameter can drift by as much as 0.8% over the lifetime of this product. 4This parameter can drift by as much as 1% over the lifetime of this product. 5See page 8 on how to set overcurrent fault switchpoint. 6Switchpoint can be lower at the expense of switchpoint accuracy. 7This error specification does not include the effect of noise. See the INCOMP specification in order to factor in the additional influence of noise on the fault switchpoint. 8Fault Enable Delay is designed to avoid false tripping of an Overcurrent (OC) fault at power-up. A 15 μs (typical) delay will always be needed, every time FAULT_EN is raised from low to high, before the device is ready for responding to any overcurrent event. 9During power-up, this delay is 15 μs in order to avoid false tripping of an Overcurrent (OC) fault.

The reason for this is that in many applications, such as motor control, the start-up current of the motor is approximately three times higher than the running current. 2Vpk-pk noise (6 sigma noise) is equal to 6 × VNOISE(rms). Lower noise levels than this can be achieved by using Cf for applications requiring narrower bandwidth.

120 kHz Bandwidth, High Voltage Isolation Current Sensor with Integrated Overcurrent DetectionACS710 16Allegro MicroSystems, LLC Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. Overcurrent Fault Operation The primary concern with high-speed fault detection is that noise may cause false tripping. Various applications have or need to be able to ignore certain faults that are due to switching noise or other parasitic phenomena, which are application dependant. The problem with simply trying to filter out this noise in the main signal path is that in high-speed applications, with asymmetric noise, the act of filtering introduces an error into the measure- ment. To get around this issue, and allow the user to prevent the fault signal from being latched by noise, a circuit was designed to slew the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin voltage based on the value of the capacitor from that pin to ground. Once the voltage on the pin falls below
2 V , as established by an internal reference, the fault output is
latched and pulled to ground quickly with an internal N-channel MOSFET. Fault Walk-through The following walk-through references various sections and attributes in the figure below. This figure shows different fault set/reset scenarios and how they relate to the voltages on the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin, FAULT_EN pin, and the internal Overcurrent (OC) Fault node, which is invisible to the customer. 1. Because the device is enabled (FAULT_EN is high for a minimum period of time, the Fault Enable Delay, t FED , 15 μs typical) and there is an OC fault condition, the device ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin starts discharging. 2. When the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin voltage reaches approximately 2 V , the fault is latched, and an internal NMOS device pulls the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin voltage to approximately 0 V . The rate at which the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin slews downward (see [4] in the figure) is dependent on the external capacitor, C 3. When the FAULT_EN pin is brought low, the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin starts resetting if no OC fault condition exists, and if FAULT_EN is low for a time period greater than t OCH . The internal NMOS pull-down turns off and an internal PMOS pull- up turns on (see [7] if the OC fault condition still exists). 4. The slope, and thus the delay to latch the fault is controlled by the capacitor, COC, placed on the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin to ground. Dur- ing this portion of the fault (when the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin is between VCC and 2 V), there is a 3 mA constant current sink, which discharges COC. The length of the fault delay, t, is equal to: COC ( VCC – 2 V ) 3 mAt = (1) where V CC is the device power supply voltage in volts, t is in seconds and COC is in Farads. This formula is valid for RPU equal to or greater than 330 kΩ. For lower-value resistors, the current flowing through the RPU resistor during a fault event, IPU , will be larger. Therefore, the current discharging the capacitor would be 3 mA – IPU and equation 1 may not be valid. 5. The ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin did not reach the 2 V latch point before the OC fault condition cleared. Because of this, the fixed 3 mA current sink turns off, and the internal PMOS pull-up turns on to recharge C 6. This curve shows VCC charging external capacitor COC through the internal PMOS pull-up. The slope is determined by COC. 7. When the FAULT_EN pin is brought low, if the fault condition still exists, the latched ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin will be pulled low by the internal 3mA current source. When fault condition is removed then the Fault pin charges as shown in step 6. 8. At this point there is a fault condition, and the part is enabled before the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin can charge to V CC. This shortens the user-set delay, so the fault is latched earlier. The new delay time can be calculated by equation 1, after substituting the voltage seen on the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin for VCC.

The problem with simply trying to filter out this noise in the main sig- nal path is that in high-speed applications, with asymmetric noise, the act of filtering introduces an error into the measurement. To get around this issue, and allow the user to prevent the fault signal from going low due to noise, a circuit was designed to slew the ¯F¯ ¯A¯ ¯U¯ ¯L¯ ¯T¯ pin voltage based on the value of the capacitor from that pin to ground.

120 kHz Bandwidth, High Voltage Isolation Current Sensor with Integrated Overcurrent DetectionACS710 18Allegro MicroSystems, LLC Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. Chopper Stabilization is an innovative circuit technique that is used to minimize the offset voltage of a Hall element and an asso- ciated on-chip amplifier. Allegro patented a Chopper Stabiliza- tion technique that nearly eliminates Hall IC output drift induced by temperature or package stress effects. This offset reduction technique is based on a signal modulation-demodulation process. Modulation is used to separate the undesired dc offset signal from the magnetically induced signal in the frequency domain. Then, using a low-pass filter, the modulated DC offset is suppressed while the magnetically induced signal passes through the filter. As a result of this chopper stabilization approach, the output voltage from the Hall IC is desensitized to the effects of tempera- ture and mechanical stress. This technique produces devices that have an extremely stable Electrical Offset V oltage, are immune to thermal stress, and have precise recoverability after temperature cycling. This technique is made possible through the use of a BiCMOS process that allows the use of low-offset and low-noise amplifiers in combination with high-density logic integration and sample and hold circuits.

120 kHz Bandwidth, High Voltage Isolation Current Sensor with Integrated Overcurrent DetectionACS710 19Allegro MicroSystems, LLC Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. Sensitivity (Sens). The change in sensor 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 (V NOISE). The product of the linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G) and the noise floor for the Allegro Hall effect linear IC. The noise floor is derived from the thermal and shot noise observed in Hall elements. Dividing the noise (mV) by the sensi- tivity (mV/A) provides the smallest current that the device is able to resolve. Linearity (E LIN). The degree to which the voltage output from the sensor varies in direct proportion to the primary current through its full-scale amplitude. Nonlinearity in the output can be attributed to the saturation of the flux concentrator approaching the full-scale current. The following equation is used to derive the linearity: where V IOUT_full-scale amperes = the output voltage (V) when the sensed current approximates full-scale ±IP . Symmetry (ESYM). The degree to which the absolute voltage output from the sensor varies in proportion to either a positive or negative full-scale primary current. The following formula is used to derive symmetry: Quiescent output voltage (V IOUT(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 example, in the case of a bidirectional output device, VCC = 5 V translates into VIOUT(Q) = 2.5 V . Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to the resolution of the Allegro linear IC quiescent voltage trim and thermal drift. Electrical offset voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device out- put from its ideal quiescent voltage due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this voltage to amperes, divide by the device sensitiv- ity, Sens. Accuracy (E TOT). The accuracy represents the maximum devia- tion of the actual output from its ideal value. This is also known as the total ouput error. The accuracy is illustrated graphically in the output voltage versus current chart at right. Note that error is directly measured during final test at Allegro. Accuracy is divided into four areas: 0 A at 25°C. Accuracy of sensing zero current flow at 25°C, without the effects of temperature. 0 A over Δ temperature. Accuracy of sensing zero current flow including temperature effects. Full-scale current at 25°C. Accuracy of sensing the full-scale current at 25°C, without the effects of temperature. Full-scale current over Δ temperature. Accuracy of sensing full- scale current flow including temperature effects. Ratiometry. The ratiometric feature means that its 0 A output, V IOUT(Q), (nominally equal to VCC/2) and sensitivity, Sens, are proportional to its supply voltage, VCC . The following formula is used to derive the ratiometric change in 0 A output voltage, IOUT(Q)RAT (%). The ratiometric change in sensitivity, SensRAT (%), is defined as: Definitions of Accuracy Characteristics 100 1– [{ [ { VIOUT_full-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q) 2 (VIOUT_1/2 full-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q) ) 100 VIOUT_+ full-scale amperes – VIOUT(Q) VIOUT(Q) – VIOUT_–full-scale amperes 100 VIOUT(Q)VCC / VIOUT(Q)5V VCC / 5 V 100 SensVCC / Sens5V VCC / 5 V Output Voltage versus Sensed Current Accuracy at 0 A and at Full-Scale Current Increasing VIOUT (V) +IP (A) Accuracy Accuracy Accuracy 25°C Only Accuracy 25°C Only Accuracy 25°C Only Accuracy 0 A vrOe $Temp erature Average VIOUT –IP (A) vrOe $Temp erature vrOe $Temp erature Decreasing VIOUT (V) IP(min) IP(max) Full Scale

Definitions of Dynamic Response Characteristics Propagation delay (tPROP). The time required for the sensor 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. Primary Current Transducer Output I (%) Propagation Time, tPROP t Primary Current Transducer Output I (%) Response Time, tRESPONSE t Primary Current Transducer Output I (%) Rise Time, tr t Rise time (tr). The time interval between a) when the sensor 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 current sensor, in which ƒ(–3 dB) = 0.35 / t r. 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 sensor reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the applied current.
