Allegro MicroSystems redefines sensing technology with the introduction of a new compact packaged current sensor IC

     Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., a leading global provider of power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy efficient systems, announced the introduction of two new current sensors, the ACS37030MY and ACS37220MZ. With Allegro's cutting-edge sensing technology, these ics provide low internal conductor resistance, high operating bandwidth, and reliable performance for a variety of automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

    "Allegro continues to push the frontiers of innovation in sensor IC technology, and we are excited to introduce the latest current sensor ics," Ram Sathappan, vice president of global marketing and applications at Allegro MicroSystems, said, "Our latest sensors set a new benchmark for accuracy and reliability, helping customers overcome the challenges of design and efficiency standards while demonstrating how our technology can drive a smarter, more efficient future."

     Allegro's new current sensor IC is designed for precise current sensing in a compact and durable package. The ACS37030MY and ACS37220MZ feature a wide-body design that is 40% smaller and more isolated than existing 16-pin packages on the market. The new, innovative design also reduces electrical resistance, helping to reduce power consumption.

     The ACS37030MY is a fully integrated current sensor IC with fast response time to protect wideband gap GaN devices. It combines the Hall effect and the induction coil signal path to sense current over a wide frequency range. This innovative packaged product is not only five times faster than existing solutions, but also 40% smaller. The ACS37030 is also available in a narrow-body package for applications with lower isolation requirements.

     The ACS37220MZ is a fully integrated Hall-effect current sensor with 150 kHz bandwidth and fault pins. The device is designed for economical current sensing applications and is a successor to the popular ACS724/5 family of products. The ACS37220MZ's new package solution is 40% smaller, with lower resistance and lower power consumption.
