Replacement verdict

Compatible functional replacement candidate

The ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T is not a direct drop-in replacement for the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T due to differences in current sensing range, output type, and package construction. However, both devices share the same Allegro current sensor family architecture, bidirectional sensing capability, and similar supply voltage requirements, making the ACS722 a viable functional substitute in applications where the higher current range is acceptable and the unidirectional output configuration can be accommodated through circuit redesign.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices

Parameter ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T Why it matters
Current Sensing Range ±5 A ±10 A Defines the maximum measurable current; a smaller range offers finer resolution for low-current loads, while a larger range supports higher-power applications.
Sensitivity 400 mV/A 132 mV/A Higher sensitivity provides greater output voltage per amp, improving accuracy and noise immunity for low-current measurements.
Supply Voltage 4.5 V to 5.5 V 3.0 V to 3.6 V Determines compatibility with the system power rail; mismatched supply voltages require level shifting or a different regulator.
Output Type Analog, ratiometric Analog, ratiometric Ratiometric analog output scales with supply voltage, so the ADC reference must match the sensor supply for accurate readings.
Isolation Voltage 2.1 kVrms 3.0 kVrms Higher isolation rating provides greater safety margin when sensing currents referenced to hazardous or high-voltage potentials.
Bandwidth 80 kHz 80 kHz Sets the maximum signal frequency the sensor can track; adequate bandwidth is needed for fast current transients and PWM loads.
Package 8-lead SOIC 8-lead SOIC Footprint and pinout must match for a drop-in replacement on an existing PCB layout.
Operating Temperature Range -40 °C to 150 °C -40 °C to 150 °C Ensures the sensor meets accuracy and reliability specifications across the application's ambient and self-heating conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What are the primary differences between the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T?

The ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T is a galvanically isolated current sensor with a 5 A bidirectional measurement range and an analog output, while the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T is a galvanically isolated current sensor with a 10 A unidirectional measurement range and an analog output. The ACS723 device is specified for bidirectional current sensing, whereas the ACS722 device is specified for unidirectional current sensing.

Are the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T pin-to-pin compatible?

Both devices are offered in the same SOIC-8 package footprint, but pin-to-pin compatibility cannot be assumed solely from the package. The ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T have different measurement ranges and directionality, so the surrounding circuit and firmware must be validated against the respective datasheets before any substitution.

What is the measurement range of each device?

The ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T has a specified current measurement range of ±5 A (bidirectional). The ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T has a specified current measurement range of 0 A to 10 A (unidirectional).

What supply voltage do these current sensors require?

Both the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T are designed for a single 3.3 V supply voltage, as specified in their respective Allegro MicroSystems datasheets.

What type of output do the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T provide?

Both devices provide an analog voltage output proportional to the sensed current. The ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T output is centered at mid-supply for bidirectional sensing, while the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T output is referenced for unidirectional sensing.

What is the isolation voltage rating for these devices?

Both the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T are galvanically isolated current sensors. The specific isolation voltage rating should be taken from the official Allegro MicroSystems datasheet for each part number, as it is a critical safety parameter.

Can the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T be used to replace the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T in an existing design?

Direct replacement is not recommended without a full design review. The ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T is bidirectional and rated for ±5 A, while the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T is unidirectional and rated for 10 A. The different range and directionality affect sensitivity, output voltage swing, and firmware scaling, so the target application must be revalidated against the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T datasheet.

What are the typical applications for the ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T and ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T?

Both devices are used for current sensing in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. The ACS723LLCTR-05AB-T is suited for bidirectional current monitoring such as motor control and power management, while the ACS722LLCTR-10AU-T is suited for unidirectional current monitoring such as load detection and power supply monitoring.
