1 Typical data is at TA = 25°C and VCC = 12 V and it is for design information only.
2 1 G (gauss) = 0.1 mT (millitesla).
3 Power-On Time, Output Rise Time, and Output Fall Time are ensured through device characterization and not final test.
4 CL = oscilloscope probe capacitance.
5 In Diagnostic mode the supply current level is different from the Normal mode operation current level. This is important when determining the power
derating for Diagnostic mode.
6 When the A1160 passes the diagnostic tests, it outputs a 50% duty cycle signal. Any other output indicates the test failed. Please see the Diagnostic
Mode of Operation section for more information.
7 Magnetic flux density, B, is indicated as a negative value for north-polarity magnetic fields, and as a positive value for south-polarity magnetic fields.
8 800 G is the maximum test capability due to practical equipment limitations. Design simulations show that a 10,000 G external field will not adversely
affect the A1160 in Diagnostic mode when a 1% sensitivity mismatch between the Hall elements in the IC is assumed.
