Allegro MicroSystems - New Approaches to High Efficiency Current Sensing Hall Sensor ICs Save Power and Space
Recent advancements in integrated Hall-effect current sensor technology provide an alternative current sensing solution that reduces power loss, achieves most cost targets, and occupies a much smaller volume on the application printed circuit board, current sense resistor.
Application Note
Shifting the Offset Voltage of Current Sensors
Most of the Allegro™ unidirectional current sensor ICs are trimmed such that the zero ampere output is at 0.1 × VCC . The advantage of having the output voltage at 0.1 × VCC is that the output can swing slightly lower than this value before saturating.
