CZ3A Series

Establishes a new standard for overcurrent protection and short-circuit detection in systems.

Features high-precision analog output and dual overcurrent detection outputs.

CZ3A Series CZ3A Series

Overview

  • Clearance, Creepage distance ≧ 8.0mm
  • 3.3V Output, High Accuracy
  • Coreless Current Sensor ICs
  • supporting 50Arms

What can be done with CZ3A series?

  • Low heat generation
  • Improve system efficiency
  • System downsizing
  • Precise control

The CZ3A series of coreless current sensor ICs has creepage and clearance distances of 8 mm or more, generates less heat, and  is accurate. The CZ37 series and CZ3A series have the same package profile and support 5V and 3V outputs, respectively. The CZ3A series supports 3V output, making it ideal for use with 3V microcontrollers, which have grown in popularity in recent years.
The CZ3A series has built in dual overcurrent detection with adjustable thresholds. This provides a great deal of control freedom, such as making it possible to use one line for overcurrent detection and the other to perform control using control mode.

Features

1. 3.3V output

The CZ3A series supports 3.3V output. It is best for a sensor signal input to a 3.3V AD converter.
In addition, this series has both VDD  5V and 3.3V products as below.
VDD=5V, Output=3V
VDD=3.3V, Output=3.3V

2. Creepage distance/Clearance ≧ 8mm

By developing AKM's original package, both creepage distance and clearance of 8.0mm or more is achieved.

The CZ3A series supports a working voltage of over 550Vrms and can be used with 400V reinforced insulation.

3. Support wide current range and 50Arms Low-heat Generation

CZ3A series has a low resistance of 0.27mΩ as the primary conductor resistance with AKM's original package. As a result, compared to shunt resistors and similar products of other companies, heat generation when applying the current can be greatly suppressed, and 50Arms continuous current is achieved. Furthermore, availability with wide current detection ranges is available. This enables to adopt common design of system boards, making it easy to roll it out to other models with different ratings.

4. Overcurrent detection function

The CZ3A series has two overcurrent detection circuit, and each overcurrent detection threshold can be adjusted from the outside. Therefore, it makes easier to design the protection of the system.

Applications

  • AC motors
  • DC motors
  • UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
  • General Inverter (Drives)
  • Power Conditioners (DC side)

It is suitable for the application which requires insulation and achieve small size with low heat generation.
