Two new families of high-performance low-noise Hall-effect current sensors feature isolation voltages of 2100V RMS.

Allegro MicroSystems Europe has introduced two new families of high-performance low-noise Hall-effect current sensors featuring an isolation voltage of 2100V RMS Each device is available in +/-5, +/-20 or +/-30A versions, with corresponding sensitivity levels of 185, 100 or 66mV/A

The new devices, ACS712 (bidirectional) and ACS713 (unidirectional), have been developed to address the growing demand for low-cost, high-accuracy and compact current-sensing solutions with added functionality.

The chip design is based on the latest Allegro low-noise 0.65um BiCMOS process (DABIC6), and parameters such
