Improving Sensing System Accuracy Using the FILTER Pin
In low-frequency sensing applications, it is often advantageous
to add a simple RC filter to the output of the device. Such a low-
pass filter improves the signal-to-noise ratio, and therefore the
resolution, of the device output signal. However, the addition of
an RC filter to the output of a sensor IC can result in undesirable
device output attenuation — even for DC signals.
Signal attenuation, ∆V
effect between the resistance of the external filter, R
cation 5), and the input impedance and resistance of the customer
interface circuit, R
divider is given by:
Even if R
resistance values will most likely drift by different amounts over
Application 5. When a low pass filter is construct-
ed externally to a standard Hall effect device,
a resistive divider may exist between the filter
resistor, R
er interface circuit, R
will cause excessive attenuation, as given by the
transfer function for ∆V
Application 6. Using the FILTER pin
provided on the ACS715 eliminates
the attenuation effects of the resis-
tor divider between R

The ACS715 contains an internal resistor, a FILTER pin connec-
tion to the printed circuit board, and an internal buffer ampli-
fier. With this circuit architecture, users can implement a simple
RC filter via the addition of a capacitor, C
from the FILTER pin to ground. The buffer amplifier inside of
the ACS715 (located after the internal resistor and FILTER pin
connection) eliminates the attenuation caused by the resistive
divider effect described in the equation for ∆V
ACS715 device is ideal for use in high-accuracy applications that
cannot afford the signal attenuation associated with the use of an
external RC low-pass filter.
