Allegro MicroSystems ACS711KEXLT-15AB-T

The Allegro MicroSystems ACS711KEXLT-15AB-T is a current sensor with a digital output, designed to be used in sensing and monitoring applications where accurate current measurement is required. Functions: This current sensor features a low-resistance, galvanically isolated current conductor, which allows for low power loss and minimal voltage drop. It provides a bidirectional current measurement range of up to ±15 Amps, and outputs a ratiometric voltage that varies linearly with the sensed current. Applications: This sensor is commonly used in a variety of applications such as current measurement in power supplies, battery monitoring systems, motor control units, and industrial automation. Alternative parts: Some alternative current sensor options to consider are the ACS758 series from Allegro MicroSystems, the INA219 from Texas Instruments, and the ACS712 series from Allegro MicroSystems. These alternatives offer similar functionality and can be used based on specific project requirements. Embedded modules: For ease of integration, Allegro MicroSystems also provides a range of embedded modules that utilize the ACS711KEXLT-15AB-T current sensor. These modules often include built-in amplifiers, filters, and communication interfaces to simplify the design process and provide additional features. Here are 3 related Q&A: 1.
