ALLEGRO ACS37610 Coreless Current Sensor
ТАВСИФИ
- This user guide documents the features, operation, and use of the ACS37610OK current sensor with the corresponding evaluation board. Allegro MicroSystems offers evaluation board units that offer a method for rapid evaluation of the Allegro current sensor in a lab environment, without the requirement for a custom circuit board. The evaluation board is used to evaluate the functionality of the ACS37610OK, an economical and precise solution for AC and DC sensing in busbar and high-current printed circuit board (PCB) applications. Applied current through a busbar or PCB generates a magnetic field that is sensed by the Hall integrated circuit (IC). The ACS37610OK outputs an analog signal that varies linearly with the field sensed within the range specified. Differential sensing topology virtually eliminates error from common-mode stray magnetic fields. High isolation is achieved via the noncontact nature of this assembly. This guide includes a schematic of the ACS37610OK evaluation board (EVB), measurement and operation techniques, PCB layouts, and a bill of materials (BOM). The test equipment document (TED) and description of each board for which this document is applicable are listed in Table 1.
ВИЖАГИҲО
- The evaluation board and programming board listed in Table 1 can be used for the evaluation of all gain options of the ACS37610OK, allowing for streamlined and fast evaluation of the device. The ACS37610 evaluation board features test points for ease of access to the device pins. The evaluation board is multilayered, which allows for improved thermal performance, better power distribution, and greater signal integrity.
МУНДАРИҶАИ Шўрои баҳодиҳӣ
- The ACS37610OK evaluation board consists of two layers, shown in the Layout section. An image of the complete evaluation board is shown in Figure 1. A detailed list of components is provided in the Bill of Materials (BOM) section.

Пайвастҳои Шӯрои арзёбӣ
- NOTE: Board appearance varies by board configuration. Concepts remain applicable. The supply voltage VCC may be applied across the VCC and GND test points. The ACS37610 analog output VOUT may be observed by attaching an oscilloscope probe or digital multimeter (DMM) to the OUT test point. The FAULT output may be observed by attaching an oscilloscope probe or DMM to the FAULT test point. These connections are shown on the ASEK37610 busbar evaluation board for reference, in Figure 2.
- High current may be applied directly to the busbar using the current connection screws. The high-current connections are shown on the evaluation board for reference in Figure 3. If a busbar is not used and a PCB sensing ASEK37610 evaluation board is used, current connections are applied to banana jacks (I_IN and I_OUT) on the PCB.

To measure the ACS37610 quiescent output voltagд, боварӣ ҳосил кунед, ки дастгоҳ бо истифода аз ҳаҷми дурусти таъминот таъмин карда мешавадtage, typically 3.3 V or 5 V. Using an oscilloscope to view the output waveform, or a multimeter to view ҳаҷми баромадtage level, verify the VOUT pin on the evaluation board is VCC/2 (for bidirectional devices) or VCC/10 (for unidirectional devices). For example, in the case of a bidirectional output device with nominal VCC = 5 V, verify that VOUT(Q) = 2.5 V.To measure device sensitivity, first ensure the evaluation board is powered using the VCC and GND test points. After confirming that the device is powered, measure the device’s quiescent output voltage. To do so, apply a known current (IP) to the device and measure the device output. To calculate device sensitivity, use: Equation 1—Measured Sensitivity Calculation: sens mV = VOUT [V] − VOUT (Q)[V] IP [A] ×1000
Calculating Full-Scale Current Range Using CF and IC Sensitivity.
- The ACS37610 is currently offered in several different gain selections: 5 mV/G, 10 mV/G, or 20 mV/G. The full-scale current-sensing range of the device depends on the sensitivity of the sensor and the design of the reference busbar or PCB. To calculate the maximum current-sensing range, the coupling factor (CF) and IC sensitivity must be known. For example, for the case of a coupling factor of 0.21 G/A, device sensitivity of 10 mV/G, and desired output voltage swing of 2000 mV, the maximum current sensing range is calculated as: Equation 2—Full-Scale Current Calculation:2000 mV× G 10 mV × A 0.21 G = 952 A For the example in Equation 2, the maximum current sensing range is 952 A.
