ACS716
120 kHz Bandwidth, High Voltage Isolation
Current Sensor with Integrated Overcurrent Detection
Setting 6BB Versions
The VOC needed for setting the overcurrent fault
switchpoint can be calculated as follows:
VOC = 1.17 × Sens × | IOC | ,
where VOC is in mV, Sens in mV/A, and IOC (overcur-
rent fault switchpoint) in A.
| Ioc | is the overcurrent fault switchpoint for a bi-
directional (AC) current, which means a bi-directional
sensor will have two symmetrical overcurrent fault
switchpoints, +IOC and –IOC .
See the following graph for IOC and VOC ranges.

Example: For ACS716KLATR-6BB-T, if required overcurrent fault switchpoint is 10 A, and VCC = 3.3 V, then the
required VOC can be calculated as follows:
VOC = 1.17 × Sens × IOC = 1.17 × 100 × 10 = 1170 (mV)
