La carte Click Board™ Hall Current 7 est une carte complémentaire compacte qui fournit des solutions économiques et précises pour la détection de courant alternatif ou continu. Cette carte est équipée de l'ACS770, un capteur de courant linéaire haute précision à effet Hall entièrement intégré et à amélioration thermique avec conducteur de courant de 100 µΩ d'Allegro Microsystems. Le courant appliqué circule directement dans le conducteur intégré générant un champ magnétique, et un noyau à faible hystérésis intégré concentre le champ magnétique détecté par l'élément Hall avec une précision typique de ±1 % et une bande passante de 120 kHz. Cette carte Click Board™ convient aux applications telles que le contrôle des moteurs, la détection et la gestion des charges, le contrôle des convertisseurs CC-CC et aux applications similaires qui nécessitent une détection de courant précise et fiable.
Le Hall Current 7 Click est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Ce Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The Hall Current 7 Click Board™ Work?
The Hall Current 7 Click Board™ is based on the ACS770, a thermally enhanced, fully integrated, Hall effect-based high precision linear current sensor with 100µΩ current conductor from Allegro MicroSystems. This Hall-effect current sensor eliminates the need for a sense-resistor. The current flows directly into the integrated conductor, generating a magnetic field that will be measured. As current flows in its integrated conductor, an integrated low-hysteresis core concentrates the magnetic field that is then sensed by the Hall element with a typical accuracy of ±1% and 120 kHz bandwidth. This core also acts as a magnetic shield, rejecting external stray fields. The integrated conductor has 100μΩ resistance, providing ultralow-power loss.
The thickness of the copper conductor allows the survival of the device at high overcurrent conditions. The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated from the signal leads. This allows the ACS770 to be used in applications requiring electrical isolation without the use of optoisolators or other costly isolation techniques. The ACS770 outputs an analog signal that varies linearly with the bidirectional AC or DC primary sampled current. The analog signal is then brought to the analog to digital converter (ADC) that converts the output signal from the ACS770 into a digital value, which is available over the I2C interface.
The Hall Current 7 Click Board™ communicates with MCU through the MCP3221, a successive approximation A/D converter with a 12-bit resolution from Microchip, using a 2-wire I2C compatible interface. This device provides one single-ended input with very low-power consumption, a low maximum conversion current, and a Standby current of 250 μA and 1 μA, respectively. Data can be transferred at rates of up to 100 kbit/s in the Standard and up to 400 kbit/s in the Fast Mode. Also, maximum sample rates of 22.3 Ksps with the MCP3221 are possible in a Continuous-Conversion Mode with a clock rate of 400 kHz.
The Hall Current 7 Click Board™ is designed to operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. It allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and an example code which can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Hall Current 7 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions that enables the usage of the Hall Current 7 Click Board™. It offers reading raw data from output register and calculations for raw output voltage, current and average current passing through the on board Hall Effect Sensor.
Key Functions
uint16_t hallcurrent7_read_voltage ( uint16_t v_ref );- Function is used to calculate raw output voltage.int16_t hallcurrent7_calc_current ( uint16_t v_ref );- Function is used to calculate current.int16_t hallcurrent7_avg_current ( uint16_t v_ref );- Function is used to calculate average current and correct for output error.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C module and LOG structure.
- Application Initialization - Initalizes I2C driver and makes an initial log.
- Application Task - This example shows the capabilities of the Hall Current 7 Click Board™ by measuring current passing through the on board Hall Effect Sensor and displaying data every two seconds. In order to get correct calculations user should change "v_ref" value to his own power supply voltage.
void application_task ( ) { current = hallcurrent7_avg_current( v_ref ); IntToStr( current, log_txt ); mikrobus_logWrite( "Current: ", _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( log_txt, _LOG_TEXT ); mikrobus_logWrite( "mA", _LOG_LINE ); mikrobus_logWrite( "------------------------", _LOG_LINE ); Delay_ms( 2000 ); }The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- I2C
- UART
- Conversions
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Hall Current 7 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
