ACS710
120 kHz Bandwidth, High-Voltage Isolation
Current Sensor with Integrated Overcurrent Detection
Setting Overcurrent Fault Switchpoint
Setting 12CB and 25CB Versions
The VOC needed for setting the overcurrent fault switchpoint can
be calculated as follows:
VOC = Sens × | IOC | ,
where VOC is in mV, Sens in mV/A, and IOC (overcurrent fault
switchpoint) in A.
| Ioc | is the overcurrent fault switchpoint for a bidirectional (AC)
current, which means a bidirectional sensor will have two sym-
metrical overcurrent fault switchpoints, +IOC and –IOC .
See the following graph for IOC and VOC ranges.

Example: For ACS710KLATR-25CB-T, if required overcurrent fault switchpoint is 50 A, and VCC = 5 V, then the
required VOC can be calculated as follows:
VOC = Sens × IOC = 28 × 50 = 1400 (mV)
