Product details
Overview
ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK from Allegro MicroSystems is a galvanically isolated, bidirectional current sensor IC in an 8-pin SOIC package, delivering 1 MHz bandwidth, ±20 A sensing range, 100 mV/A sensitivity, and 1.2 mΩ primary conductor resistance. It enables high-accuracy AC/DC current measurement in high-side motor control and overcurrent protection circuits with integrated temperature compensation and 2400 VRMS isolation.
For engineers reviewing the ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK datasheet, ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK pinout, ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK application, or ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK equivalent, key selection criteria include isolation rating (2400 VRMS), bandwidth (1 MHz), total output error (±3% over –40°C to 125°C), zero-current reference voltage (2.5 V), and SOIC8 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK uses a flip-chip Hall-effect architecture with copper conduction path (pins 1–4) magnetically coupled to an integrated Hall transducer and analog signal chain. Its patented digital temperature compensation maintains accuracy across –40°C to 125°C ambient without external calibration.
Galvanic isolation is achieved via internal insulation (44 µm DTI) and 4 mm creepage/clearance, certified to UL 62368-1 for 2400 VRMS withstand and 420 VPK working voltage. The device operates from a single 5 V supply and outputs a ratiometric analog voltage (VIOUT) referenced to VZCR = 2.5 V at zero current.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACS37030 | Higher bandwidth (2 MHz), lower noise (25 µA/√Hz), but ±15 A range and different SOIC16 package | Requires PCB redesign due to 16-pin SOIC footprint and altered pinout | Select when >1 MHz bandwidth and lower noise are critical; verify layout compatibility |
| CT428 | Lower cost, 800 kHz bandwidth, ±25 A range, same SOIC8 package but no VZCR pin | Lacks dedicated zero-current reference; requires external reference or ratiometric ADC calibration | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where 800 kHz suffices and VZCR is not required |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK?
The ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK is UL 62368-1 certified for 2400 VRMS withstand voltage (60 s) and 420 VPK working voltage for basic isolation. Its internal insulation distance is 44 µm, with 4 mm creepage and clearance between primary and secondary sides-meeting industrial safety requirements without external barrier components.
Does ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK require external calibration for accuracy?
No, ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK does not require external calibration. It features factory-trimmed sensitivity and quiescent output voltage, plus patented digital temperature compensation, delivering ±3% total output error over –40°C to 125°C without user adjustment or external components.
What is the meaning of the "-T" suffix in ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK?
The "-T" suffix indicates Pb-based solder bumps used in flip-chip assembly, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III/IV exemptions (7(a), 15, 15a). Electrical performance is identical to "-S" variants; only the interconnect metallurgy differs-no impact on ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK functionality or reliability.
Can ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK measure both AC and DC current?
Yes, ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK measures both AC and DC current bidirectionally within its ±20 A range. Its Hall-effect sensing principle provides true RMS-capable response up to 1 MHz, with linear output (VIOUT = 2.5 V ± 2.0 V) proportional to instantaneous current, making it suitable for inverter phase current and DC bus monitoring.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK?
The recommended bypass capacitor for ASEK730KLC-20AB-T-DK is 0.1 µF ceramic placed between VCC (pin 8) and GND (pin 5), as specified in the datasheet. This ensures stable 5 V supply regulation and minimizes noise coupling into the analog signal path, preserving the device's 35 dB PSRR and 40 mARMS noise performance.
