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 ACS37610OK, 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 ACS37610OK 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 ACS37610OK EVB (evaluation board), 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.
