Product details
Overview
ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C from Allegro MicroSystems is a programmable linear Hall-effect current sensor IC designed for core-based current sensing in automotive inverters and DC-DC converters. It delivers factory-trimmed 2.5 mV/G sensitivity, ±1% sensitivity error, ±5 mV offset error over –40°C to 150°C, and integrates undervoltage detection (UVD) and low-voltage programming for robust operation in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C datasheet, ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C pinout, ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C application, or ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade diagnostics, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C implements dynamic offset cancellation, segmented linear temperature compensation, and patented spiking suppression circuits to maintain accuracy under fast current transients. Its onboard supply regulator supports ±18 V survival on VCC and +16 V/–6 V on VOUT, enabling direct connection to 12 V automotive battery rails without external protection.
It features bidirectional analog output with ratiometric behavior (configurable), customer-programmable quiescent voltage (2.5 V nominal at 5 V VCC), and integrated diagnostics including broken-ground detection, output clamps, and UVD - all compliant with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for automotive powertrain and safety-critical systems.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C uses the OK 4-pin SIP package (1 mm case thickness, longer/thicker leads than KT), optimized for current-sensing modules requiring mechanical robustness and high vibration tolerance. Leadform TX denotes lead-formed configuration for through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power input & programming rail | Accepts 4.5–5.5 V; survives ±18 V transients; supplies internal regulator and EEPROM programming circuitry |
| VOUT | Analog output & programming data line | Delivers ratiometric 0.5–4.5 V output; used with Manchester protocol for bidirectional trim communication |
| PROG_EN | Low-voltage programming enable | Pulled to GND for ESD protection; enables UVD and low-VCC programming without external >VCC voltages |
| GND | Signal and power ground | Open-circuit detection enabled; output shifts to 0–200 mV (low) or 4.8–5 V (high) during broken-wire fault |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Undervoltage Detection (UVD) | Enables early warning of supply collapse before MCU reset; avoids false current readings during brownout |
| Low-Voltage Programming | Allows full sensitivity and offset trim using only VCC (no >VCC programming voltage required) |
| Broken-Ground Detection | Provides fail-safe output state (VBRK_L/VBRK_H) without external circuitry - critical for ASIL-B compliance |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –18 V on VCC; eliminates need for external TVS or diode in 12 V battery-connected designs |
| Customer-Programmable Clamps | Configurable output voltage limits enable short-circuit diagnostics and prevent ADC saturation in fault conditions |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed sensitivity of ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C?
The ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C is factory-programmed to 2.5 mV/G sensitivity, corresponding to the "2P5" suffix. This value falls within the 1.2–2.5 mV/G programmable range enabled by SENS_COARSE = 1. The device maintains ±1% sensitivity error from –40°C to 150°C without user reprogramming.
Does ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C support bidirectional current sensing?
Yes, ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C is a bidirectional sensor with a nominal quiescent output voltage of 2.5 V at 5 V VCC. Its output swings above and below this midpoint in response to north/south magnetic polarity, enabling measurement of both charging and discharging currents in automotive energy storage systems.
What package type does ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C use, and how does it differ from KT?
ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C uses the OK 4-pin SIP package with TX leadform (lead-formed). Compared to KT, OK has longer and thicker leads optimized for current-sensing modules subject to mechanical vibration and thermal cycling - making it ideal for bolt-in sensor assemblies rather than PCB-only integration.
How does the undervoltage detection (UVD) function in ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C?
ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C monitors VCC and asserts UVD when voltage drops below 4.2 V (typical), with 250 mV hysteresis. This feature is exclusive to ACS70311 variants and provides early warning of supply degradation before system reset, enabling controlled shutdown or fault logging in automotive ECUs.
Can ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C be programmed after soldering onto a PCB?
Yes, ACS70311LOKATX-2P5B5-C supports in-system programming via Manchester protocol on VOUT and PROG_EN pins using only the 5 V supply rail - no external programming voltage >VCC is required. This low-voltage programming capability simplifies calibration and trim during final test or field updates.
