Allegro Microsystems ACS37610LLUA-20B5 | Demoboard ASEK37610

Description

This user guide documents the features, operation, and use of the ACS37610 current sensor with the ASEK37610 evaluation board. Allegro MicroSystems offers evaluation board units which offer a method for quickly evaluating the Allegro current sensor in a lab environment without needing a custom circuit board.The evaluation board is used to evaluate the functionality of the ACS37610, an economical and precise solution for AC and DC current sensing in busbar and high-current PCB (printed circuit board) applications. Applied current through a busbar or PCB generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the Hall IC. The ACS37610 outputs an analog signal that varies linearly with the field sensed within the range specified. Differential sensing topology virtually eliminates error from common-mode stray magnetic fields. High isolation is achieved via the no-contact nature of this assembly. This guide includes a schematic of the ASEK37610 EVB (evaluation board), reference documentation, measurement and operation techniques, printed circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a bill of materials (BOM). Table 1 below includes the test equipment document (TED) and description of each board for which this document is applicable.

Features

The evaluation boards listed in Table 1 can be used for the evaluation of all gain options of the ACS37610, allowing for streamlined and fast evaluations of the device. The ASEK37610 evaluation boards feature test points for ease of access to the devicepins. Several ASEK37610 evaluation boards are multilayer,allowing improved thermal performance, better power distribution, and higher signal integrity.
