Low-power leadframe high-accuracy SOIC-8 current sensor ICs

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