ACSEVB-MC16 Evaluation Board

ACS37002 - 400 kHz, High Accuracy Current Sensor with Pin-Selectable Gains

Bare evaluation boards offer a method for evaluating Allegro current sensors in a lab environment. This document describes the use of the MC current sensor evaluation board. This evaluation board (ACSEVB-MC16, TED-0004115) is intended for use with any MC package (16-pin SOICW Allegro current sensor).

Top Features

Contents

  • Enhanced thermal performance
    • 6-layer PCB with 2 oz copper weight on all layers
    • Nonconductive-filled via-in-pad □ High-performance FR4 material with 180°C glass transition temperature •
  • Flexible layout for user-installed connection points
    • Standard Keystone test points
    • SMA/SMB connector
    • 2-pin headers 
  • Integrated current loop resistance can be measured directly on the evaluation board after test point installation; voltage drop can be measured for approximating power loss in the package.
  • NOTE: It is the responsibility of the user to assemble the board with the desired current sensor and supporting circuitry. This board does not come populated with an Allegro current sensor or other components.
  • Recommended supporting circuitry for all compatible current sensors is listed in the Supporting Circuitry section.
