The part number "ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T" refers to a current sensor IC made by Allegro Microsystems. This specific model is a current sensor with a linear output corresponding to the current flowing through the measured conductor.
Pinout and Specifications for the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T:
The "ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T" is available in a SOIC-8 package (Small Outline Integrated Circuit with 8 pins). Here is the detailed pinout and functionality of each pin.
Pinout and Pin Functions:
Pin No. Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 VCC Supply Voltage (5V) 2 OUT Analog Output Voltage 3 GND Ground Pin 4 NC Not Connected 5 VCC Supply Voltage (5V) 6 NC Not Connected 7 GND Ground Pin 8 VSS Ground (Negative Supply)Circuit Principle and Operation:
The ACS722 sensor works by using the Hall Effect principle. The sensor detects the magnetic field created by the current flowing through the conductor (placed near the sensor). It then produces an output voltage that is proportional to the magnetic field strength, which is directly related to the current flowing through the conductor.
The VCC pin is connected to a 5V supply voltage. The GND pin is the ground pin, while VSS is the negative supply (essentially the ground for the Hall sensor circuitry).
The OUT pin provides an analog output that varies depending on the amount of current flowing through the conductor. The voltage on the OUT pin is centered around 2.5V (for a 5V supply) when there is no current flowing (0A). As the current increases, the output voltage will rise or fall accordingly.
