Functional Description :
The Winson WCS2720 provides economical and precise solution for both
DC and AC current sensing in industrial, commercial and communications
systems. The unique package allows for easy implementation by the customer.
Typical applications include motor control, load detection and management,
over-current fault detection and any intelligent power management system
etc
The WCS2720 consists of a precise, low-temperature drift linear hall
sensor IC with temperature compensation circuit and a current path with 0.4
m typical internal conductor resistance. This extremely low resistance can
effectively reduce power loss, operating temperature and increase the
reliability greatly. Applied current flowing through this conduction path
generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated Hall IC and
converted into a proportional voltage.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated from the
sensor leads. This allow the WCS2720 current sensor to be used in
applications requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or
other costly isolation techniques and make system more competitive in cost.
