The ACS712ELCTR-05B-T is a Hall-effect current sensor integrated circuit manufactured by Allegro Microsystems. It features the following key specifications:
- Current Sensing: Designed to measure current up to 5A with a high level of accuracy and linearity. The sensor provides an analog voltage output proportional to the current flowing through the conductor.
- Hall-Effect Technology: Utilizes Hall-effect sensing to provide isolation between the current-carrying conductor and the output signal, ensuring safety and accuracy.
- Output Voltage: The output is centered around a 2.5V reference voltage, providing a linear voltage output that is directly proportional to the current being measured.
- Sensitivity: Offers a sensitivity of 185 mV/A, meaning that for each ampere of current, the output voltage changes by 185 mV.
- Wide Operating Voltage: Operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for standard 5V systems.
- Temperature Range: Provides reliable performance over an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.
- Package: Housed in a compact SOIC-8 package, facilitating integration into space-constrained designs.
- Applications: Ideal for current measurement in power monitoring, overcurrent protection, motor control, and power management systems.
The ACS712ELCTR-05B-T combines high accuracy, linearity, and safety features, making it a robust solution for current sensing in various electronic and industrial applications.
