Application Note
New Approaches to High-Efficiency Current Sensing: Integrated Hall Sensor ICs Save Power and Space
AN296100: Allegro current sensor ICs allow design engineers to use Hall-effect based current sensor ICs in new applications where increased energy efficiency or new operating features are required. Wherever current sensing is needed, an integrated Hall-effect IC can provide a solution.

Application Note
Current Sensing for Power Delivery
AN296256 - This article will discuss the advantages of various current sensing methods in power delivery.

Application Note
DC Current Capability and Fuse Characteristics of Current Sensor ICs with 50 to 200 A Measurement Capability
Allegro MicroSystems offers a wide range of current sensor IC solutions that fall into two main categories: ICs having an integrated current-carrying conductor and ICs designed to be used with an external magnetic core.

Application Note
Techniques to Minimize Common-Mode Field Interference When Using Allegro Current Sensor ICs (ACS724 and ACS780)
This application note will discuss the mechanism of CMR and focus on how to best use this mechanism through optimized circuit board design and layout for sensors that need an external magnetic core, sensors that have a core built into the package, and sensors that have an integrated current-carrying loop but no core.

Whitepaper
Whitepaper: Allegro ICs Based on Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR)
This whitepaper provides a basic understanding of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect and how Allegro uses this technology in market-leading ICs to meet today’s application requirements.

Application Note
Convenient and Isolated Power Measurements via SPI or I2C using ACS71020 or ACS37800 Power Monitoring ICs
AN296180 - This application note describes the I2C and SPI interfaces on the ACS71020/ACS37800 Power Monitoring ICs from Allegro MicroSystems.

Application Note
Introduction to Hall-Effect Switches and Conversion from Mechanical Switches
AN296192 - This application note will discuss the technical considerations necessary to aid with the replacement of an on/off mechanical switch with a Hall-effect switch.
