Product description: ACS724 current sensor 0 A to +5 A - Pololu 4048
The ACS724 current sensor is an advanced module from Pololu that uses the Hall effect to carry out appropriate measurements. It allows you to measure unidirectional current flowing through the cable in the range from 0 A to 5 A. It has a low resistance of the internal current path of approximately 1.2 mΩ and provides electrical insulation ensuring operational safety up to 2.4 kV RMS . The sensor module is also characterized by a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 150°C , which makes it suitable for various environmental conditions.
Main features of the sensor
- It allows precise measurement of unidirectional currents in the range from 0 A to 5 A
- It offers a low current path resistance of approximately 1.2 mΩ, which results in low power losses
- Provides electrical insulation up to 2.4 kV RMS
- Generates an output voltage proportional to the input current - 800 mV / A for a supply voltage of 5 V
- It operates on a passband of 120 kHz
- It operates in a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, with 5V being the preferred voltage
- Enables direct soldering of wires to the sensor or use of solderless connectors
Current sensor applications
The current sensor is extremely useful in monitoring and controlling current to ensure the safety, efficiency and performance of electrical systems. This enables users to track energy consumption, diagnose load issues, optimize system performance, and ensure compliance with safety requirements.
Current sensor pins
- IP+ (current input positive) : a pin intended to be connected to the positive side of a circuit through which current flows in order to monitor it.
- IP- (negative current input) : a pin intended to be connected to the negative side of a circuit through which current flows for the purpose of monitoring it.
- VCC (logic power supply) : used to connect the supply voltage for the current sensor measurement system. The supply voltage should be between 4.5 V and 5.5 V.
- OUT : output of the system from which an analog voltage proportional to the measured current is read. This signal can be further processed or used for direct current monitoring.
- GND : system ground.
