Product details
Overview
MCS1805GS-310-B-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a bidirectional linear Hall-effect current sensor IC with galvanic isolation, 3.3V supply, ±10A sensing range, 132 mV/A sensitivity, and integrated over-current detection (OCD) with 1 µs response time. It replaces optoisolators in motor control and power supply feedback loops where high accuracy, noise immunity, and compact SOIC-8 packaging are required.
For engineers reviewing the MCS1805GS-310-B-P datasheet, MCS1805GS-310-B-P pinout, MCS1805GS-310-B-P application, or MCS1805GS-310-B-P equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, isolation-rated performance metrics, OCD threshold configuration, and real-world use cases for industrial and automotive current monitoring.
Technical Context
The device uses a differential Hall array to cancel stray magnetic fields and employs spinning current technique for ultra-low offset drift. Its primary conductor (IP+/IP−) provides 1.2 mΩ resistance and supports up to 3000 A surge current, while signal-side pins (VCC, VOUT, /OCD, GND) are galvanically isolated at 3 kVRMS with 580 VRMS working voltage per IEC 62368-1.
It delivers ratiometric analog output (VOUT proportional to both current and VCC), supports custom OCD thresholds from 50% to 240% of IPMAX, and achieves ±2.5% total output error across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range with 120 kHz bandwidth.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±10% - powers internal Hall sensors and signal chain; UVLO triggers below 2.5 V to prevent erroneous output. |
| Current Range | ±10 A bidirectional - enables precise AC/DC measurement in H-bridge motor drivers and bidirectional DC-DC converters. |
| Sensitivity | 132 mV/A - yields 1.32 V full-scale output at ±10 A, compatible with 3.3 V ADC reference without gain staging. |
| Isolation Rating | 3 kVRMS withstand, 580 VRMS working voltage - meets reinforced isolation requirements for mains-connected systems per IEC 62368-1. |
| OCD Response | 1 µs - detects over-current faults faster than typical PWM switching cycles, enabling cycle-by-cycle protection. |
| Total Accuracy | ±2.5% - includes sensitivity error, offset drift, and nonlinearity across full temperature range, enabling closed-loop control without calibration. |
| Bandwidth | 120 kHz - captures fast transients in SiC/GaN-based power stages and servo motor current waveforms. |
Pinout & Package
SOIC-8 package (5 mm × 4 mm, 1.5 mm height) with creepage/clearance ≥4.2 mm between primary (IP+, IP−) and signal-side pins (VCC, VOUT, /OCD, GND). Primary conductors occupy pins 1–2 (IP+) and 3–4 (IP−); signal pins are arranged on opposite side for PCB layout separation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 IP+ | Primary current input (+) | Fused internal connection to high-side current path; low 1.2 mΩ resistance minimizes power loss and thermal rise. |
| 3, 4 IP− | Primary current return (−) | Fused internal connection to low-side return path; differential sensing rejects common-mode field interference. |
| 5 GND | Signal ground reference | Reference node for VOUT and /OCD; must be connected to system signal ground, not power ground. |
| 6 /OCD | Open-drain over-current flag | Active-low output; requires external pull-up (10–500 kΩ) to VCC; asserts within 1 µs of current exceeding programmed threshold. |
| 7 VOUT | Analog current-proportional output | Ratiometric voltage (0.1×VCC to 0.9×VCC); drives 4.7 kΩ load with ≤35 mA RMS input-referred noise. |
| 8 VCC | 3.3 V supply input | Requires 0.1–1 µF bypass capacitor to GND; under-voltage lockout prevents operation below 2.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential Hall sensing | Rejects external gradient magnetic fields via dual-point measurement, enabling reliable operation near transformers or busbars. |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% total error over temperature eliminates need for end-of-line calibration in production test. |
| Integrated OCD with programmable threshold | Customizable from 50% to 240% of ±10 A range (i.e., ±5 A to ±24 A), configured at factory via part number suffix. |
| Low-noise density | 100 µA(rms)/√Hz input-referred noise enables high-resolution current measurement in precision motor control. |
| Galvanic isolation | 3 kVRMS dielectric strength allows direct replacement of optocouplers in safety-critical feedback paths without external isolation components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACS724LLCTR-10AU-T | 5 V supply, ±10 A, 200 mV/A, no integrated OCD, 2.5 kVRMS isolation | Lacks dedicated /OCD output; requires external comparator for over-current detection | Select when OCD is implemented externally and 5 V supply is preferred. |
| TMC1100A-10A | 3.3 V supply, ±10 A, 132 mV/A, integrated OCD, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, SPI interface | Provides digital output and diagnostics via SPI; lower isolation rating limits use in higher-voltage systems | Select when digital communication and fault reporting are needed, and isolation requirement is ≤2.5 kVRMS. |
Compared with ACS724LLCTR-10AU-T, MCS1805GS-310-B-P offers faster OCD response and higher isolation; versus TMC1100A-10A, it provides superior isolation margin and simpler analog interface but lacks digital configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous primary current the MCS1805GS-310-B-P can handle?
The device is rated for ±10 A continuous bidirectional current, with a primary conductor resistance of 1.2 mΩ. It supports transient surges up to 3000 A (8 µs/20 µs pulse) and 200 A for 10 ms, making it suitable for high-peak applications like motor startup and inrush limiting.
How is the OCD threshold set for the MCS1805GS-310-B-P?
The OCD threshold is factory-programmed and fixed per part number. For MCS1805GS-310-B-P, the threshold is ±10 A (100% of IPMAX). Other variants (e.g., -315-B) offer 150% IPMAX (±15 A); custom thresholds require contacting MPS FAE prior to ordering.
Does the MCS1805GS-310-B-P require external calibration?
No. The device is factory-trimmed for sensitivity, offset, and ratiometry, achieving ±2.5% total output error over −40°C to +125°C without user calibration. Offset drift is limited to ±10 mV across temperature, and lifetime drift is ±1% for sensitivity and total error.
Can the /OCD pin drive an LED directly?
No. The /OCD pin is open-drain with a maximum sink current of 20 mA and a low-voltage specification of 0.3 V at 10 kΩ pull-up. To drive an LED, add a series resistor (e.g., 1 kΩ) between VCC and the LED anode, and connect the cathode to /OCD-ensuring current remains within safe limits.
What is the recommended PCB layout for minimizing magnetic coupling errors?
Route high-current traces (IP+/IP−) straight and symmetrically through the device, avoiding bends or vias near the package. Keep signal traces (VOUT, /OCD) >5 mm away from power planes and magnetic components. Use separate ground planes for primary and secondary sides, connected only at a single point near GND pin 5.
Is the MCS1805GS-310-B-P compliant with AEC-Q200?
No. While rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and qualified to JEDEC standards, it is not AEC-Q200 stress-tested. For automotive-grade qualification, consult MPS for designated AEC-Q200 variants or consider the pin-compatible MCS1805GS-310-B-AQ if available.
What is the minimum bypass capacitance required on VCC?
A minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 0603 or larger) is required between VCC (pin 8) and GND (pin 5), placed within 2 mm of the pins. For noisy environments, add a parallel 1 µF capacitor to suppress broadband supply ripple affecting offset stability.
