MCS1801
5V, Linear Hall-Effect Current Sensor
with ±3% Accuracy Over Temperature
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MCS1801 is a linear Hall-effect current
sensor for AC or DC current sensing. The Hall
array is differential, which cancels out any stray
magnetic field.

A primary conductor with a low resistance allows
current to flow close to the IC, which contains
high-accuracy Hall-effect sensors. This current
generates a magnetic field that is sensed at two
different points by the integrated Hall-effect
transducers. The magnetic field difference
between these two points is then converted into
a voltage that is proportional to the applied
current. A spinning current technique is used for
a low and stable offset.

The galvanic isolation between the pins of the
primary conductive path and the sensor leads
allows the MCS1801 to replace opto-isolators or
other isolation devices.
The MCS1801 requires a minimal number of
readily available, standard external components.
The device’s small footprint saves board area
and makes it well-suited for space-constrained
applications. The MCS1801 is available in an
SOIC-8 package.

Notes:
2) Typical values denoted with the “±” sign signify ±3 sigma values.
3) Beyond the maximum specified current range (IP), the current sensor continues to provide an analog output voltage proportional to the
primary current until the device reaches the high or low saturation voltage. However, the nonlinearity increases beyond the specified range
(IP).
4) The device can operate at higher primary current levels (IP) and ambient temperatures (TA), as long as the maximum junction temperature
(TJ (MAX)) is not exceeded.
5) The offset voltage does not incorporate any error due to the external magnetic fields.
6) Guaranteed by design and characterization.
7) The resistance is defined as the total resistance measured from a point of the lead next to the solder joint, assuming that the two IP+ pins
(and IP- pins) have the same potential (see Figure 1). This definition corresponds to the effect resistance used to estimate the joule heating,
calculated with R x IP2.

IPMAX is the rated current. The sensor output is

Figure 3: Sensor Output Function
Sensitivity (SENS)
The sensitivity (SENS) (in mV/A) indicates how
the output changes when the primary current
changes. SENS is the product of the average
between the two coupling constants (PMCF1 and
PMCF2) (in mT/A) and the transducer gain (in
mV/mT). The gain is factory-trimmed to the
sensor target sensitivity.
Coupling Constants (PMCF1 and PMCF2)
Figure 4 shows a cross-section of the sensor.
The first and second Hall magnetic coupling
factors are defined as the amount of the vertical
magnetic field (B1 and B2) produced at the
sensing points 1 and 2, per unit of current
injected in the primary conductor. Due to the
asymmetrical shape of the primary conductor,
the magnetic field generated at the two sensing
points are different.

Noise (IN)
The noise (IN) is a random deviation that cannot
be removed by calibrating the device. The input’s
referred noise is the root mean square of the
sensor’s output noise (in mV), divided by the
sensitivity (in mV/A). IN represents the smallest
current that the device is able to resolve without
any external signal treatment.
Zero Current Output Voltage (VOUT(Q))
VOUT(Q) is the voltage output when the primary
current is 0A. The nominal value is VCC/2.
Offset Voltage (VOE)
The offset voltage (VOE) is the difference
between VCC/2 and the zero current output
voltage VOUT(Q). The variation is due to thermal
drift, as well as the factory’s resolution limits
related to voltage offset trimming. To convert this
voltage into amperes, divide VOE by the
sensitivity.
Nonlinearity (ELIN)
The primary current and sensor output should
have a linear relationship, indicated by a straight
line. A line that is not straight indicates
nonlinearity, which is a deviation.
Nonlinearity (in %) can be calculated with
Equation (1):
ELIN =
max(VOUT (IP ) − VLIN (IP ))
100
VOUT (IPMAX ) − VOUT ( −IPMAX )
(1)
Where VLIN(IP) is the approximate straight line
calculated by the least square method. Note that
depending on the curvature of VOUT(IP), ELIN can
be positive or negative.
Total Output Error (ETOT)
ETOT (in %) is the relative difference between the
sensor output and the ideal output at a given
primary current (IP). ETOT can be estimated with
Equation (2):
ETOT (IP ) =
VOUT (IP ) − VOUT _ IDEAL (IP )
Where VOUT_IDEAL

The total output error incorporates all error
sources, and is a function of IP. At currents close
to IPMAX, ETOT is affected mainly by the sensitivity
error. At currents close to 0A, ETOT is mostly
caused by the offset voltage (VOE). Note that

when IP = 0A, ETOT diverges to infinity due to the
constant offset.
Ratiometry Coefficients
Ideally, the sensor output is ratiometric. This
means that the sensitivity and the zero current
output scale with VCC. The ratiometry coefficients
measure if the sensitivity and zero output current
are proportional.

Power On Time (tPO)
The power on time (tPO) is the time interval after
power is first applied to the device, until the
output can correctly indicate the applied primary
current. tPO is defined as the time between the
following moments:
1. t1: The supply reaches the minimum

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Self-Heating Performance
The conductor and MCS1800 temperatures may
rise when current flows through the primary
conductor. Self-heating should be carefully
verified to ensure that the IC’s junction
temperature does not exceed the maximum
value (165°C).
Figure 11 shows the top and bottom layers of the
PCB. The board includes a total of 2200mm2,
4oz (139µm) copper connected to the primary
conductor via the IP+ and IP- pins. The copper
covers both the top and bottom sides, and
thermal vias connect the two layers.
The thermal behavior depends significantly on
the thermal environment of the IC, as well as its
cooling capacity. In particular, thermal behavior
depends on the PCB copper area’s thickness.
The thermal response is also related to the
current waveform’s profile (e.g. the amplitude
and frequency of an AC current, or the peaks
and duty cycle of a pulsed DC current).
Figure 10 shows the self-heating performance of
the MCS1801 with a DC current input. The data
is collected while the MCS1801 is mounted on
the device’s evaluation board, and TA = 25°C.
Values were taken 10 minutes after a continuous
current.
