The Effect of PCB Layout on ACS706 Thermal 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 ACS706. These PC boards are shown in the figure below.
An ACS706 device was soldered on to each PCB for thermal testing. The results of the testing are shown in the following table.
