    Non-Contact sensing provides immunity to high-voltage transients (dv/dt) and fast current spikes (di/dt)

    Patented on-chip shield circuitry reduces output errors due to high voltage switching (high dv/dt). Additionally, the hall effect sensing method is immune to inductance spikes from high di/dt events, unlike most shunt + op-amp solutions.

    Features:

  • Patented On-Chip Shield
  • Non-contact sensing methodology

    • Benefits:

  • Inherent immunity to current and voltage transients
  • Reduced “blank time” after switching cycle 

    • Applications

    Power Factor Correction, DC-DC Converters, Inverters, Motors Control, VFDs and other Drives. 

    Devices:

    ACS709, ACS710, ACS711, ACS71240, ACS720, ACS724, ACS725, ACS730, ACS732, ACS733
