Power Supply Connection:
- Connect the VCC pin to a power supply within the range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
- Ensure the GND pin is properly grounded.
Output Signal Handling:
- The output voltage (VO) is proportional to the current flowing through the sensor, with a sensitivity of 110mV per ampere.
- At zero current, the quiescent output voltage (VIO) is approximately 2.5V.
Current Sensing:
- Pass the current-carrying conductor through the center hole of the sensor module.
- Ensure that the maximum RMS current does not exceed 20A to avoid damaging the sensor.
Temperature Considerations:
- Operate the sensor within the temperature range of -40°C to +85°C to ensure reliable performance.
Electrical Isolation:
- The sensor provides electrical isolation up to 2.2kVRMS, which helps in protecting against high voltages.
Signal Processing:
- Use a low-pass filter if necessary to reduce noise and improve signal quality, considering the bandwidth of 80kHz.
Installation:
- Mount the sensor in a location where it will not be exposed to excessive heat or mechanical stress.
- Keep the sensor away from magnetic fields to prevent interference with measurements.
