AUTOMOTIVE CURRENT TRANSDUCER

HAH1DR 900-S

Principle of HAH1DR Family

Introduction
The HAH1DR family is for the electronic measurement
of DC, AC or pulsed currents in high power automotive
applications with galvanic isolation between the primary circuit
(high power) and the secondary circuit (electronic circuit).
The HAH1DR family gives you the choice of having different
current measuring ranges in the same housing (from 200 A
up to 900 A).

The open loop transducers use an Hall effect integrated

circuit.
The magnetic flux density B, contributing to the rise of the
Hall voltage, is generated by the primary current IP to be
measured.
The current to be measured IP is supplied by a current source
i.e. battery or generator (Fig. 1).
Within the linear region of the hysteresis cycle, B is proportional
to:
B (IP) = constant (a) x IP

Features
Open Loop transducer using the Hall effect
Unipolar + 5 V DC power supply
Primary current measuring range up to 900 A
Maximum rms primary current limited by the busbar, the
magnetic core or the ASIC temperature T < + 150C
Operating temperature range: - 40C < T < + 125C
Output voltage: full ratiometric (in sensitivity and offset)
Compact design.

The Hall voltage is thus expressed by:

VH= (RH/d) x I x constant (a) x IP
Except for IP, all terms of this equation are constant.
Therefore:
VH = constant (b) x IP
The measurement signal VH amplified to supply the user output
voltage or current.

PERFORMANCES PARAMETERS DEFINITIONS

Sensitivity:
Output noise voltage:
The output voltage noise is the result of the noise floor of the The Transducers sensitivity G is the slope of the straight line
Vout = f (IP), it must establish the relation:
Hall elements and the linear IC amplifier gain.
Vout (IP) = VC/5 (G x IP + 2.5) (*)
Magnetic offset:
(*) For all symetrics transducers.
The magnetic offset is the consequence of an over-current on
the primary side. Its defined after an excursion of IP max.
Offset with temperature:
Linearity:
The maximum positive or negative discrepancy with a reference
straight line VOUT = f (IP).
Unit: linearity (%) expressed with full scale of IP max.
Linearity is measured on cycle + IP, O, - IP, O, + IP without
magnetic offset (average values used).

Reference

Max linearity error
IP

Linearity variation in IN %

The error of the offset in the operating temperature is the variation

of the offset in the temperature considered with the initial offset
at 25C.
The offset variation IOT is a maximum variation the offset in the
temperature range:
IOT = IOE max - IOE min
The Offset drift TCIOEAV is the IOT value divided by the temperature
range.

Sensitivity with temperature:

The error of the sensitivity in the operating temperature is the
relative variation of sensitivity with the temperature considered
with the initial offset at 25C.
The sensitivity variation GT is the maximum variation (in ppm or
%) of the sensitivity in the temperature range:
GT = (Sensitivity max - Sensitivity min) / Sensitivity at 25C.
The sensitivity drift TCGAV is the GT value divided by the
temperature range.

Offset voltage @ IP = 0 A:
Is the output voltage when the primary current is null. The ideal
value of VO is VC/2 at VC = 5 V. So, the difference of VO -VC/2
Response time (delay time) tr:
The time between the primary current signal and the output is called the total offset voltage error. This offset error can be
attributed to the electrical offset (due to the resolution of the ASIC
signal reach at 90 % of its final value.

and the thermal hysteresis.
