We are offering these breakout boards with support from Allegro Microsystems as an easy way to use or evaluate their ACS37041/ACS37042 Hall effect-based, electrically isolated current sensors; we therefore recommend careful reading of the ACS37041/2 datasheet before using this product. 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 galvanic isolation.
- Low primary current path resistance of 1.6 mΩ in the sensor IC, so very little power is lost in the module.
- 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 5 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.
- Integrated temperature compensation circuitry allows improved accuracy over the full operating temperature range.
- Automotive-grade operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
- Carrier boards, available in micro (0.3″×0.4″) and our standard compact (0.7″×0.8″) 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.
- 3.3V and 5V versions available.
- ACS37042 ICs have a higher isolation rating than the ACS37041 ICs and are on PCBs with routed slots for higher creepage.
The following table lists the available ACS37041 and ACS37042 carrier options:
