Riedon™ SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensors by Bourns Frequently Asked Questions Q: How does the SSA-2 Series compare with Hall Effect technology? A: When compared to Hall Effect technology, the SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensor will offer:
- Immunity to stray magnetic fields
- Unlike closed loop hall sensors, the SSA-2 Series has a unipolar power supply requirement
- No hysteresis
- Low-noise resolution and offset performance allows accurate low-current measurements
- Superior offset, gain and linearity performance over entire temperature range
- Low noise
- Higher bandwidth (300 kHz vs 50 kHz)
- Lighter weight
- Superior stability
- No sensitivity to conductor positioning
- No periodic calibration Q: Is the SSA-2 Series suitable for AC measurements? A: The wide bandwidth of the SSA makes it appropriate for measuring AC as well as DC currents.

A: The output reading will saturate with an input current that exceeds the corresponding maximum unclipped voltage output of 2.62 volts. Ultimately, the overload capabilities are thermally limited per the derating curve.

Frequently Asked Questions (Continued) Q: What is the best way to connect to the SSA-2 Series terminals? A: Make sure connections are clean and well prepared. Bolts must be torqued to the hardware manufacturer’s recommendations. There should be sufficient clamping force to ensure proper connection. Overlap shown below should be taken as a minimum. Suitable for copper, copper- clad aluminum or aluminum conductors. 20 mm BUSBAR OVERLAP HARDWARE: 5/16-18 GRADE 5 STEEL or M8x1.25 CLASS 8.8 STEEL TORQUE: 11-13 ft-lb, 15-17.6 N-M Q: How much heat does the SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensor create? A: A majority of the heat generated by the SSA-2 Series is dissipated through the primary conductors. Care should be taken to ensure that the primary conductors are sized appropriately given expected amperage and conductor length. We recommend a 70 °C maximum conductor temperature. If there are thermal concerns, oversizing the conductors will help minimize the operating temperature of the shunt sensor. Q: Is it necessary to install the SSA-2 Series on the low side of the circuit? A: The SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensors are completely isolated, so it may be installed in either the low or high side of the circuit. Q: Thermal EMF? A: Thermal EMF happens when the two sensing terminals of the shunt sensor experience different temperatures. This phenomenon is essentially eliminated with the differential output of the device. It is still possible that the two current carrying terminals could experience a temperature differential, however. This offset would be 0.5 mV/°C. Q: Is there a version with digital outputs? A: Bourns plans to develop digital output versions in the very near future. Q: What size wire is suitable for the Model SSA-2 Series?

Q: Is there a way to convert the differential output to a single-ended output? A: VCM will be the new zero current point and the output will be offset by this amount. R3, R4, RS set the gain.

OUTP OUTN VCMADC TO ADC C1 C2 GND Q: Is there another way to read the differential output with single ended ADCs? A: The SSA-2 Series outputs have a common mode voltage of about +1.44 VDC referenced to ground. The difference between OUTP and OUTN is the differential voltage. You can use two single-ended ADC channels to measure the OUTP and OUTN voltages referenced to ground and then just subtract the two in software to find the differential voltage. Ideally, you would do a simultaneous measurement, if possible. For example: If OUTP measures 1.85 V and OUTN measures Q: I notice a high frequency noise on the output signal, why is this? A: The SSA-2 Series Current Sensor has an output chopper circuit at 625 kHz. This is how we achieve the good DC- accuracy and low temperature drift of offset and gain. Chopping noise is the differential errors (mismatch, etc.) that have been modulated to high frequency to remove them from the baseband. The chopping noise is far above the SSA-2 Series bandwidth of 300 kHz. Use an analog filter to attenuate if necessary, see below. Q: How do I improve the stability of precision DC current readings? A: Analog Filtering: The SSA-2 Series has no internal filtering to maximize its 300 KHz bandwidth for high speed AC measurements. Most applications will operate at much lower frequencies and would benefit greatly from analog filtering, especially for DC signals. A low pass RC filter before the AID converter will improve the signal. Pick the lowest practical filter frequency. Typically one would prioritize lower resistance values and higher capacitances to reduce Johnson noise and output impedance.

Averaging multiple readings will stabilize the readings at the cost of CPU cycles.
Riedon™ SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensors by Bourns Frequently Asked Questions (Continued) Q: I’m getting overshoot on fast rising currents. Why? A: When using the SSA-2 Series in square wave or pulse applications without filtering, the output will have an excessive amplitude due to the skin effect of the shunt. This will be true with microsecond rise-time currents. The output of the shunt is inversely proportional to its effective cross-sectional area. For the first couple of microseconds the current is flowing on the surface of the resistance material and not evenly across the whole cross- sectional area like with lower frequency currents. The higher the Δl/Δt, the lower the effective cross-section which results in a higher resistance and a higher output voltage. In under 10 microseconds, the current is flowing through the whole cross-section and the output returns to normal. The amplitude of the pulse is hard to quantify as it is highly dependent on the rest of the circuit’s reactance. Filtering is the usual answer. This can either be placed on the output of the SSA-2 Series Analog Current Sensor before the ADC or Bourns can add a filter internally on the sensing side of the electronics. Contact Bourns if this is required.
