Data Sheet ACHS-7121/7122/7123 Fully Integrated, Hall Effect-Based Linear Current Sensor IC with 3 kVRMS Isolation and Low-Resistance Current Conductor Overview Features The Broadcom® ACHS-7121/7122/7123 product series is a fully integrated Hall Effect-based isolated linear current sensor device family designed for AC or DC current sensing in industrial, commercial, and communications systems. Each of the ACHS-7121/7122/7123 consists of a precise, low-offset, linear Hall 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 that the Hall IC converts into a proportional voltage. Device accuracy is optimized through the close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopper-stabilized CMOS Hall IC, which is programmed for accuracy after packaging. The output of the device has a positive slope (>VOUT(Q)) 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 sampling.                 The internal resistance of this conductive path is 0.7 mΩ typical, providing low-power loss.

Without the magnetic field, the output voltage is half of the supply voltage. The sensor can detect both DC and AC current. Figure 11: Nonlinearity Calculation VOUT Max¨ from BFL Min¨ from BFL Ratiometric Output IP(MIN) The output voltage of the ACHS-7121/7122/7123 series is ratiometric or proportional to the supply voltage. The sensitivity (Sens) of the device and the quiescent output voltage changes when there is a change in the supply voltage (VDD). For example, when the VDD is increased by 10% from 5V to 5.5V in the ACHS-7122, the quiescent output voltage changes from 2.5V to 2.75V and the sensitivity also changes from 100 mV/A to 110 mV/A. The output sensitivity (Sens) is the ratio of the output voltage (VOUT) over the input current (IP) flowing through the primary conductor. It is expressed in mV/A. When an applied current flows through the input primary conductor, it generates a magnetic field which the Hall IC converts into a voltage. The proportional voltage is provided by the Hall IC which is programmed in the factory for accuracy after packaging. The output voltage has a positive slope when an increasing current flows through pins 1 and 2 to pins 3 and 4. Sensitivity Error (ESENS) is the difference between the measured Sensitivity and the Ideal Sensitivity expressed as a percentage (%). Nonlinearity Nonlinearity is defined as half of the peak-to-peak output deviation from the best-fit line (BFL), expressed as a percentage of the full-scale output voltage. The full-scale output voltage is the product of the sensitivity (Sens) and full scale input current (IP). [(Max¨ from BFL – Min¨ from BFL) / 2] Sens X full scale I P Broadcom IP(MAX) BFL Zero Current Output Voltage Sensitivity NL(%) = full scale IP) × 100% This is the output voltage of ACHS-7121/7122/7123 when the primary current is zero. Zero current output voltage is half of the supply voltage (VDD/2). Zero Current Output Error This the voltage difference between the measured output voltage and the ideal output voltage (VDD/2) when there is no input current to the device. Total Output Error Total output error in percentage is the difference between the measured output voltage at maximum input current (IPMAX) and the ideal output voltage at IPMAX divided by the ideal output voltage at IPMAX. E TOT (%) = Measured VOUT @ I PMAX – Ideal V OUT @ I PMAX × 100% Ideal VOUT @ I PMAX Power-On Time This is the time required for the internal circuitry of the device to be ready during the ramping of the supply voltage. Power on time is defined as the finite time required for the output voltage to settle after the supply voltage reached its recommended operating voltage.

This eliminates the need for an external RC filter for the VOUT pin of the device, which can cause attenuation of the output signal. A ceramic capacitor, CF, can be connected between the FILTER pin to GND. 7.1 (0.280) Application Information 1.50 (0.059) PCB Layout The design of the printed circuit board (PCB) should follow good layout practices, such as keeping bypass capacitors close to the supply pin and use of ground and power planes. A bypass capacitor must be connected between pins 5 and 8 of the device. The layout of the PCB can also affect the common-mode transient immunity of the device due to stray capacitive coupling between the input and output circuits. To obtain maximum common-mode transient immunity performance, the layout of the PCB should minimize any stray coupling by maintaining the maximum possible distance between the input and output sides of the circuit and ensuring that any ground or power plane on the PCB does not pass directly below or extend much wider than the body of the device. 0.64(0.025) Effect of PCB Layout on Sensitivity The trace layout on the input pins of ACHS-7121/7122/7123 affects the sensitivity. It is recommended that the PCB trace connection to the input pins covers the pins fully, as shown in Figure 13. Figure 13: Recommended Trace Layout on Input Pins PCB TRACE IP- IP+ PCB TRACE Land Pattern for 4 mm Board Creepage For applications that require PCB creepage of 4 mm between input and output sides, the land pattern in Figure 12 can be used.

Figure 14: Vertical Portion Connection PCB TRACE IP- PCB TRACE IP+ Thermal Consideration The evaluation board used in the thermal characterization is shown in Figure 16. Inputs IP+ and IP– are each connected to input plane of 2 oz. copper with 300 mm2 total area (including top and bottom planes). The output side GND is connected to a ground plane of 2 oz. copper with 460 mm2 total area (including top and bottom planes). The 2 oz. copper enables the board to conduct higher current and achieve good thermal distribution in a limited space.
