Typical Application
ACS723-DS, Rev. 2
High Accuracy, Galvanically Isolated Current Sensor IC
ACS723
With Small Footprint SOIC8 Package
for improved accuracy The ACS723 is provided in a small, low profile surface mount
• Chopper stabilization results in extremely stable quiescent SOIC8 package. The leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin,
output voltage which is compatible with standard lead (Pb) free printed circuit
• Nearly zero magnetic hysteresis board assembly processes. Internally, the device is Pb-free, except
• Ratiometric output from supply voltage for flip-chip high-temperature Pb-based solder balls, currently
exempt from RoHS. The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment
from the factory.
