The Effect of PCB Layout on ACS704 Electrical Performance
Eight different PC boards were fabricated to characterize the effect of PCB design on the operating junction temperature of the
Hall-effect IC inside of the ACS704. These PC boards are shown in the figure below.
were conducted with the following test conditions:

 14 gauge wires were used to connect a power supply to a single PC board. These wires carry the 15 A dc primary current during
 A 15 A dc primary current was applied to a single PC board containing an ACS704 device. This current flowed from pins 1 and 2
 A 1 mA current was forced from the GND pin to the VCC pin by a Fluke 179 True RMS Multimeter. This was the only power
 The voltage required to force the 1 mA current from the GND pin to the VCC pin was measured after applying the 15 A primary
