ELIN = 1– • 100(%)
2 • VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) – VIOUT(Q) –IP (A)
where VIOUT(IPR(max)) is the output of the sensor IC with the

in the case of a bidirectional output device, VCC = 5 V translates
into VIOUT(Q) = 2.5 V. Variation in VIOUT(Q) can be attributed to Figure 1: Output Voltage versus Sensed Current

thermal drift.

Offset Voltage (VOE). The deviation of the device output from
its ideal quiescent value of 0.5 × VCC (bidirectional) or 0.1 × VCC
(unidirectional) due to nonmagnetic causes. To convert this volt-
age to amperes, divide by the device sensitivity, Sens.
Total Output Error (ETOT). The difference between the cur-

rent measurement from the sensor IC and the actual current (IP),
relative to the actual current. This is equivalent to the difference 25°C Only
between the ideal output voltage and the actual output voltage,
divided by the ideal sensitivity, relative to the current flowing
through the primary conduction path: –IP +IP

ETOT (IP) = • 100 (%)
Sensideal(IP) • IP
The Total Output Error incorporates all sources of error and is a

function of IP . At relatively high currents, ETOT will be mostly
due to sensitivity error, and at relatively low currents, ETOT will
be mostly due to Offset Voltage (VOE ). In fact, at IP = 0, ETOT
approaches infinity due to the offset. This is illustrated in Figures –ETOT
1 and 2. Figure 1 shows a distribution of output voltages versus IP

at 25°C and across temperature. Figure 2 shows the correspond-
ing ETOT versus IP . Figure 2: Total Output Error versus Sensed Current

Sensitivity Ratiometry Coefficient (SENS_RAT_COEF). The Zero-Current Output Ratiometry Coefficient (QVO_RAT_
coefficient defining how the sensitivity scales with VCC. The COEF). The coefficient defining how the zero-current output
ideal coefficient is 1, meaning the sensitivity scales proportion- voltage scales with VCC. The ideal coefficient is 1, meaning the
ally with VCC. A 10% increase in VCC results in a 10% increase output voltage scales proportionally with VCC, always being
in sensitivity. A coefficient of 1.1 means that the sensitivity equal to VCC/2. A coefficient of 1.1 means that the zero-current
increases by 10% more than the ideal proportionality case. This output voltage increases by 10% more than the ideal proportion-
means that a 10% increase in VCC results in an 11% increase in ality case. This means that a 10% increase in VCC results in an
sensitivity. This relationship is described by the following equa- 11% increase in the zero-current output voltage. This relationship
tion: is described by the following equation:
(VCC – 5 V) • SENS_RAT_COEF (VCC – 5 V) • QVO_RAT_COEF
Sens(VCC ) = Sens(5 V) 1+ VIOUTQ(VCC ) = VIOUTQ(5 V) 1+
5V 5V
This can be rearranged to define the sensitivity ratiometry coef- This can be rearranged to define the zero-current output ratiom-
ficient as: etry coefficient as:
Sens(VCC ) 5V VIOUTQ(VCC ) 5V
SENS_RAT_COEF = –1 • QVO_RAT_COEF = –1 •
Sens(5 V) (VCC – 5 V) VIOUTQ(5 V) (VCC – 5 V)

DEFINITIONS OF DYNAMIC RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS
Power-On Time (tPO). When the supply is ramped to its operat- V

ing voltage, the device requires a finite time to power its internal VCC
components before responding to an input magnetic field. VCC(typ.)
Power-On Time, tPO , is defined as the time it takes for the output

voltage to settle within ±10% of its steady-state value under an
applied magnetic field, after the power supply has reached its
minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min), as shown in the
chart at right.
