CUR 3105
Hall-Effect Current Transducer
The CUR 3105 is a current transducer
based on the Hall effect. The IC can be
used for very precise current measure-
ments. The output voltage is proportional to
the measured current and the supply volt-
age (ratiometric analog output). Major char-
acteristics, such as magnetic field range,
sensitivity, output quiescent voltage (output
voltage at B= 0 mT), and output voltage
range are programmable and are stored in
the internal EEPROM. It is possible to pro-
gram different transducers which are in par-
allel to the same supply voltage individually.
The CUR 3105 features a temperature-
compensated Hall plate with choppered off-
set compensation, an A/D converter, digital
signal processing, a D/A converter with out-
put driver, an EEPROM memory with redun-
dancy and lock function for the calibration
data, an EEPROM for customer serial num-
ber, a serial programming interface, and
protection devices at all pins. The internal
digital signal processing is of great benefit
because analog offsets, temperature shifts,
and mechanical stress do not degrade the
transducers accuracy.
The CUR 3105 is programmable by modu-
lating the supply voltage. No additional pro-
gramming pin is needed. The easy pro-
grammability allows a 2-point calibration by
adjusting the output voltage directly to the
input signal (current). Individual adjustment
of each transducer during the customer’s
manufacturing process is possible. With this
calibration procedure, the tolerances of the
IC and the mechanical positioning can be
compensated in the final assembly.
The calculation of the individual IC charac-
teristics and the programming of the
EEPROM memory can easily be done with
a PC and the application kit from Micronas.
The transducer is designed for industrial,
white goods and automotive applications
and operates with typically 5 V supply volt-
age in the wide junction temperature range
from −40 °C up to 170 °C. The CUR 3105 is
available in the very small leaded package
TO92UT and the SMD package SOIC8.
