ACS72981 Current Sensor Carriers

ACS72981 Current Sensor Compact Carrier (top) and Large Carrier (bottom) size comparison.

We are offering these breakout boards with support from Allegro Microsystems as an easy way to use or evaluate their ACS72981xLR Hall effect-based, electrically isolated current sensors. 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.
• 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.
• The conductive path internal resistance is typically 0.2 mΩ, and the PCB is made with 6 layers of 2-oz copper, so very little power is lost in the module.
• 250 kHz bandwidth analog output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents.
• Less than 2 µs response time.
• Integrated digital temperature compensation circuitry allows improved accuracy over the full operating temperature range.
• 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.
• 3.3V and 5V versions available.
• Unidirectional and bidirectional versions available.
