Building on that leadership and deep customer-understanding, Allegro’s new surface-mount leadform option for the CB package is the answer to many customer challenges by providing a flexible solution for space constrained applications.
Shaun Milano, Business Unit Director for Current Sensors, said: “Our customers want flexibility, and we’re excited to provide these innovative, robust solutions in this new surface-mount option to complement our highly popular through-hole version. High current PCB designs improve power density and efficiency and this surface-mount option allows customers to realise these advantages with a simpler manufacturing process.”
The ACS772/3 family of current sensor ICs has an enhanced feature set that helps engineers simplify their bill of materials and improve efficiency in the toughest of applications:
- Small form footprint over competing solutions.
- Very fast 2.5µS response time that enables overcurrent fault detection – ideal for safety-critical applications.
- Enhanced working isolation voltages up to 1,300kV+ for basic DC voltage, and 650V+ for reinforced isolation DC voltage – no need for opto-isolators or other costly isolation techniques.
- High accuracy of +/-2.1% over the lifetime of the IC.
These features make the ACS772/3 family well suited for a range of applications from industrial robotics to electric vehicles.
