ACS712 SOP 30A Current Sensor IC

Product Description: ACS712 30A Current Sensor IC

The ACS712 30A Current Sensor IC is a highly accurate, solderable, and compact current sensing solution designed for measuring both AC and DC currents up to 30A. This Hall-effect-based current sensor provides precise current measurements with an output voltage that is linearly proportional to the sensed current. The ACS712 is widely used in motor control, power management, overcurrent protection, and energy monitoring applications where precise current measurement is required.

This current sensor IC operates using a Hall-effect sensing mechanism, where a magnetic field generated by the current flowing through a conductor is detected, enabling the ACS712 to output an analog voltage corresponding to the current. With its small form factor and easy-to-use interface, it is perfect for integration into Arduino projects, Raspberry Pi setups, or custom electronic circuits. The ACS712 IC is ideal for use in low- and medium-power applications, where real-time current measurement and overcurrent detection are needed.

Key features of the ACS712 30A Current Sensor IC include:

• Wide Current Measurement Range: Capable of measuring both AC and DC currents up to 30A, with high accuracy and linear output.
• Hall Effect Sensing: The current measurement is based on Hall-effect technology, which allows for non-contact current measurement with minimal power loss.
• Analog Output: The ACS712 provides an analog output voltage that is directly proportional to the measured current, simplifying integration with microcontrollers or analog-to-digital converters (ADC).
• High Accuracy: Offers a high level of precision with self-calibration capabilities for stable performance in a wide range of environments.
• Low Power Consumption: Consumes very little power, making it ideal for battery-powered applications and low-power designs.
• On-chip Temperature Sensor: Features an internal temperature sensor that helps monitor the operating environment of the current sensor IC, allowing for over-temperature protection.
• Easy Integration: Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, making it an easy choice for DIY electronics projects, power monitoring, and energy metering applications.
• Small Package: Comes in a compact SOIC-8 package, suitable for use in tight spaces and for high-density designs.
