High-accuracy low-power SOIC-8 current sensor IC

Available now from Digi-Key, the Allegro Microsystems ACS722 and ACS723 are true +/-5A sensor ICs, or uni-directional 10A sensor ICs, for use in lower-power applications that require higher output swings at lower currents. The devices employ an advanced temperature compensation scheme for Qvo and sensitivity that enables improved performance, even at the much higher gain required for these devices. Providing a full-scale +/-5A sensor with existing Hall technology was not possible until employing this compensation scheme which is designed to compete well with other market solutions, says the company.
