Allegro ACS750 Current Sensor 150uF Heads Up
Allegro engineering sent me a preliminary advisory:
Allegro advises against use of 150uF filter on output pin ! Their concern: 150uF may cause unstable output or damage output stage. They suggest adding integrator high Rin Op Amp with appropriate feedback. I don't see ~1000 teams going that route. Their 2nd recommendation: 411K series w/.1uF (10nF) on the output to A/D (411K likely cause significant voltage division error unless Rin ~5-10M) 150uF presumably was added to "filter" noise from the 2kHz PWM motor. I have been unable to obtain output stage detail to determine actual liability. Anyone know the input resistance of the RC A/D ? Allegro data sheet: 1-2 ohm load spec guided me to place a 274 ohm resistor in series w/150uF to gnd to effect ~125 mS (3 time constant) noise filter which was born out in scope tests. (274 ohms serves to limit current a bit isolating Out + establish RC) Their engineer indicated output stage is a constant current output which I would assume should have no problem with the large Cap., TBD ?? Caution: 2nd bend of brittle lead from outward angled plastic case & they break off!! (observe caution pulling lead out of the PCBoard to make any changes) (better to cut than pull tiny leads) |
