New sensor ICs offer 40% smaller footprint with superior isolation, achieving good power density.

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has launched two advanced current sensor ICs—the ACS37030MY and ACS37220MZ—designed to deliver superior performance across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. These new ICs leverage Allegro’s state-of-the-art sensing technology to offer low internal conductor resistance, high bandwidth, and robust reliability.
Both sensor ICs are engineered for precise current measurement in a compact, durable package. Their wide-body design provides enhanced isolation while reducing the overall footprint by 40% compared to conventional 16-pin packages. The lower resistance design minimizes power dissipation, improving efficiency.
Ultra-Fast Response for Wide Bandgap Applications
The ACS37030MY is a fully integrated current sensor IC that delivers the industry’s fastest response time, making it ideal for protecting wide bandgap GaN power devices. It utilizes both Hall-effect and inductive coil sensing to measure current across a broad frequency range. This innovative approach results in a product that is 5x faster than existing solutions while maintaining a 40% smaller footprint. It is also available in a narrow-body package for applications with lower isolation requirements.
High-Bandwidth, Cost-Effective Current Sensing
The ACS37220MZ is a fully integrated Hall-effect current sensor with 150 kHz bandwidth and a fault pin, making it a powerful yet cost-effective successor to Allegro’s popular ACS724/5 family. With its new, compact package, it offers a 40% reduction in size and lower resistance, minimizing power loss in high-efficiency applications.
“We’re excited to introduce these cutting-edge current sensor ICs, reinforcing Allegro’s commitment to innovation,” said Ram Sathappan, Vice President of Global Marketing and Applications at Allegro MicroSystems. “Our newest sensors set new benchmarks in precision and efficiency, enabling customers to meet stringent design requirements while driving a smarter, more energy-efficient future.”
