Das Hall Current 14 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die eine präzise Lösung für die AC/DC-Strommessung enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den MCS1801, einen vollständig integrierten, auf Hall-Effekt basierenden, isolierten linearen Stromsensor für den Strombereich von ±25 A von Monolithic Power Systems (MPS). Die galvanische Trennung zwischen den Stiften des primären Kupferleitungspfads und den Sensorleitungen ermöglicht es dem MCS1801, Optokoppler oder andere Isolationsgeräte zu ersetzen. Angelegter Strom, der durch diesen Kupferleitungspfad fließt, erzeugt ein Magnetfeld, das die differenziellen Hall-Sensoren in eine proportionale Spannung umwandeln, wonach der Benutzer die Möglichkeit hat, die Ausgangsspannung als analogen oder digitalen Wert zu verarbeiten. Dieses Click Board™ ist ideal für Anwendungen, die eine Kombination aus Hochstromüberwachung und hoher Isolationsspannung zwischen der primären Hochstrom- und Niederspannungsseite erfordern.
Das Hall Current 14 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD WHILE THE LOAD IS CONNECTED!
Note: This Click board™ needs to be used by trained personnel only while applying high voltages. Special care should be taken when working with hazardous voltage levels.
How Does The Hall Current 14 Click Board™ Work?
The Hall Current 14 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the MCS1801, a Hall-effect current sensor that sends an analog voltage proportional to the magnetic field intensity caused by the current flowing through the primary input conductor from Monolithic Power Systems (MPS). Immune to external magnetic fields by differential sensing, the MCS1801 can detect both DC and AC designed for the current range of ±25A. Device accuracy, ±3%, is optimized across the operating ambient temperature through the close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall sensors.
A primary conductor with a low resistance allows current to flow close to the IC, containing high-accuracy Hall-effect sensors. This current generates a magnetic field sensed at two different points by the integrated Hall-effect transducers. The magnetic field difference between these two points is then converted into a voltage (analog output) proportional to the applied current.
The analog output signal of the MCS1801 can be converted to a digital value using MCP3221, a successive approximation A/D converter with a 12-bit resolution from Microchip using a 2-wire I2C compatible interface, or can be sent directly to an analog pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as AN. Selection can be performed by onboard SMD jumper labelled as AD SEL to an appropriate position marked as AN and ADC.
The MCP3221 provides one single-ended input with low power consumption, a low maximum conversion current, and a Standby current of 250μA and 1μA, respectively. Data can be transferred at rates of up to 100kbit/s in the Standard and 400kbit/s in the Fast Mode. Also, maximum sample rates of 22.3kSPS with the MCP3221 are possible in a Continuous-Conversion Mode with a clock rate of 400kHz.
Also, this Click board™ should be connected in series with the load. The current is measured by two onboard terminal connectors, one terminal block for the positive and the other for the negative current input.
The Hall Current 14 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
