ACS723
High-Accuracy, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC
with Small Footprint SOIC8 Package
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
• Patented integrated digital temperature compensation
circuitry allows for near closed loop accuracy over
temperature in an open loop sensor
• UL60950-1 (ed. 2) certified
□ Dielectric Strength Voltage = 2.4 kVrms
□ Basic Isolation Working Voltage = 420 Vpk / 297 Vrms
• Industry-leading noise performance with greatly
improved bandwidth through proprietary amplifier and
filter design techniques
• Pin-selectable bandwidth: 80 kHz for high bandwidth
applications or 20 kHz for low-noise performance
• 0.65 mΩ primary conductor resistance for low power
loss and high inrush current withstand capability
• Small footprint, low-profile SOIC8 package suitable for
space-constrained applications
• Integrated shield virtually eliminates capacitive
coupling from current conductor to die, greatly
suppressing output noise due to high dv/dt transients
• 4.5 to 5.5 V, single supply operation
• Output voltage proportional to AC or DC current
• Factory-trimmed sensitivity and quiescent output voltage
for improved accuracy
The Allegro™ ACS723 current sensor IC is an economical and
precise solution for AC or DC current sensing in industrial,
commercial, and communications systems. The small package
is ideal for space constrained applications while also saving
costs due to reduced board area. Typical applications include
motor control, load detection and management, switched-mode
power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection.
The device consists of a precise, low-offset, linear Hall sensor
circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface of
the die. Applied current flowing through this copper conduction
path generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated
Hall IC and converted into a proportional voltage. Device
accuracy is optimized through the close proximity of the
magnetic field to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional
voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopper-stabilized
BiCMOS Hall IC, which includes Allegro’s patented digital
temperature compensation, resulting in extremely accurate
performance over temperature. The output of the device has
a positive slope when an increasing current flows through the
primary copper conduction path (from pins 1 and 2, to pins 3
and 4), which is the path used for current sensing. The internal
resistance of this conductive path is 0.65 mΩ typical, providing
low power loss.

No.: US-32848-UL
PACKAGE: 8-pin SOIC (suff ix LC)
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated
from the sensor leads (pins 5 through 8). This allows the
ACS723 current sensor IC to be used in high-side current sense
applications without the use of high-side differential amplifiers
or other costly isolation techniques.

The ACS723 outputs an
analog signal, VIOUT , that
changes, proportionally,
with the bidirectional AC or
DC primary sensed current,
IP , within the specified
measurement range. The
BW_SEL pin can be used
to select one of the two
bandwidths to optimize the
noise performance. Grounding
the BW_SEL pin puts the part
in the high bandwidth, 80 kHz,
mode.

DEFINITIONS OF ACCURACY CHARACTERISTICS
Sensitivity (Sens)
The change in sensor IC output in response to a 1 A change
through the primary conductor. The sensitivity is the product of
the magnetic circuit sensitivity (G / A) (1 G = 0.1 mT) and the
linear IC amplifier gain (mV/G). The linear IC amplifier gain is
programmed at the factory to optimize the sensitivity (mV/A) for
the full-scale current of the device.
due to sensitivity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will
be mostly due to Offset Voltage (VOE ). In fact, at IP = 0, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset. This is illustrated in Figures
1 and 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output voltages versus IP
at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 2 shows the corresponding ETOT versus IP .
Nonlinearity (ELIN)
Increasing
VIOUT (V)
The nonlinearity is a measure of how linear the output of the sensor IC is over the full current measurement range. The nonlinearity is calculated as:
{ [
ELIN = 1–
VIOUT (IPR(max)) – VIOUT(Q)
2 × VIOUT (IPR(max)/2) – VIOUT(Q)
[{
where VIOUT(IPR(max)) is the output of the sensor IC with the
maximum measurement current flowing through it and
VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) is the output of the sensor IC with half of the
maximum measurement current flowing through it.

The deviation of the device output from its ideal quiescent value

by the device sensitivity, Sens.
Across Temperature
Total Output Error (ETOT)
25°C Only
The difference between the current measurement from the sensor
IC and the actual current (IP), relative to the actual current. This
is equivalent to the difference between the ideal output voltage
and the actual output voltage, divided by the ideal sensitivity,
relative to the current flowing through the primary conduction
path:

VIOUT(Q)
Zero Current Output Voltage (VIOUT(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
a bidirectional device and 0.1 × VCC for a unidirectional device.
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.

ACS723
High-Accuracy, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC
with Small Footprint SOIC8 Package
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Impact of External Magnetic Fields
The ACS723 works by sensing the magnetic field created by the
current flowing through the package. However, the sensor cannot
differentiate between fields created by the current flow and external magnetic fields. This means that external magnetic fields can
cause errors in the output of the sensor. Magnetic fields which are
perpendicular to the surface of the package affect the output of
the sensor, as it only senses fields in that one plane. The error in
Amperes can be quantified as:
Error(B) =
B
CF
where B is the strength of the external field perpendicular to the
surface of the package in Gauss, and CF is the coupling factor in
G/A. Then, multiplying by the sensitivity of the part, Sens, gives
the error in mV.
For example, an external field of 1 Gauss will result in around
0.1 A of error. If the ACS723LLCTR-10AB is being used—which
has a nominal sensitivity of 200 mV/A—that equates to 20 mV of
error on the output of the sensor.

Thermal Rise vs. Primary Current
Self-heating due to the flow of current should be considered during the design of any current sensing system. The sensor, printed
circuit board (PCB), and contacts to the PCB will generate heat as
current moves through the system.
The thermal response is highly dependent on PCB layout, copper
thickness, cooling techniques, and the profile of the injected current.
The current profile includes peak current, current “on-time”, and
duty cycle. While the data presented in this section was collected
with direct current (DC), these numbers may be used to approximate
thermal response for both AC signals and current pulses.
The plot in Figure 3 shows the measured rise in steady-state die
temperature of the ACS723 versus continuous current at an ambient temperature, TA, of 25 °C. The thermal offset curves may be
directly applied to other values of TA. Conversely, Figure 4 shows
the maximum continuous current at a given TA. Surges beyond the
maximum current listed in Figure 4 are allowed given the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX) (165℃), is not exceeded.
The thermal capacity of the ACS723 should be verified by the
end user in the application’s specific conditions. The maximum
junction temperature, TJ(MAX) (165℃), should not be exceeded.
Further information on this application testing is available in
the DC and Transient Current Capability application note on the
Allegro website.
ASEK723 Evaluation Board Layout
Thermal data shown in Figure 3 was collected using the ASEK723
Evaluation Board (TED-85-0702-002). This board includes
1388 mm2 of 4 oz. copper (0.1388) connected to pins 1 and 2, and
to pins 3 and 4, with thermal vias connecting the layers. Top and
bottom layers of the PCB are shown below in Figure 5.

DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Power-On Time (tPO)
When the supply is ramped to its operating voltage, the device
requires a finite time to power its internal components before
responding to an input magnetic field.
Power-On Time, tPO , is defined as the time it takes for the output
voltage to settle within ±10% of its steady-state value under an
applied magnetic field, after the power supply has reached its
minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min), as shown in the
chart at right.

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.

Rise Time (tr)
The time interval between a) when the sensor IC reaches 10% of
