Overview

The ACHS-7191-000E is an isolated Hall effect-based current sensor IC designed for AC or DC current sensing in industrial and commercial systems. It features a chopper-stabilized CMOS Hall IC and a low-noise analog signal path to provide an accurate, low-offset voltage proportional to the applied current. With 3 kVrms galvanic isolation, it allows for safe high-side current monitoring without the need for expensive opto-isolators.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers an 80 kHz bandwidth and 3 kVrms isolation in a compact SO-8 footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained power electronics. Its factory-trimmed accuracy and near-zero magnetic hysteresis ensure reliable measurements over temperature, while the common-mode transient immunity prevents false readings in noisy switching environments.

Applications

Motor Phase Current Monitoring
Measuring phase currents in AC variable speed drives and servo motor controllers for precise torque and speed control.
Solar Inverter Power Tracking
Monitoring DC output from PV strings and AC output from inverters to calculate system efficiency and ensure safety.
Switching Power Supplies
Providing feedback for overcurrent protection and control loops in high-density SMPS designs.
Battery Management Systems
Tracking charge and discharge cycles in industrial battery packs to maintain state-of-charge accuracy.

Getting Started

To evaluate this sensor, design a PCB with wide copper traces for pins 1-4 to handle the primary current and minimize thermal rise. Connect VDD to a stable 5V supply with a 0.1uF bypass capacitor and monitor the VOUT pin with a high-impedance ADC or oscilloscope. Ensure the creepage and clearance distances on your layout maintain the 3 kVrms isolation rating required for your specific safety standards.
