We are offering these breakout boards with support from Allegro Microsystems as an easy way to use or evaluate their ACS37220 Hall effect-based, electrically isolated current sensors with user-configurable overcurrent fault output. The following list details some of the sensor’s key features:
- Hall effect-based sensor with electrically isolated current path allows the sensor to be inserted anywhere along the current path and to be used in applications that require electrical isolation.
- Extra-low primary current path resistance of 0.1 mΩ in the sensor IC for higher efficiency.
- Differential Hall sensing rejects common-mode fields, so the orientation of the sensor relative to uniform external magnetic fields (e.g. the Earth’s magnetic field) has less effect on the measurement.
- High-bandwidth 150 kHz analog output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents.
- Less than 4 µs response time.
- Output is not ratiometric (i.e. the zero point and sensitivity are independent of the actual supply voltage), which provides immunity from noisy supplies.
- User-configurable overcurrent fault output with 3 µs response time indicates when the current magnitude exceeds the set threshold and can be used for fast short-circuit detection.
- Integrated digital temperature compensation circuitry allows improved accuracy over the full operating temperature range.
- Automotive-grade operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
- Carrier boards, available in compact and large sizes, offer a variety of ways to insert it into the current path along with 0.1″-pitch (breadboard-compatible) power, ground, and output pins.
- The PCB is made with 2-layer (compact versions) or 6-layer (large versions) 2-oz copper, so very little power is lost in the module.
- 3.3V and 5V versions available.

These simple large carriers of Allegro’s high-current ACS37220 current sensors have dimensions of 1.4″×1.2″. These larger, 6-layer boards can accommodate larger connectors and thicker wires for the high-current path than the compact versions.
These simple compact carriers of Allegro’s high-current ACS37220 current sensors have dimensions of 0.7″×0.8″. These smaller, 2-layer boards can be integrated into more space-constrained applications or used to evaluate the IC’s performance with a smaller PCB area and fewer layers for thermal dissipation.
