The nominal unit time is calculated by:
t_UNIT = (Prediv + 16) / Clk_UNIT

Master Pulse Requirements
An SPC transmission is initiated by a Master pulse on the OUT pin. To detect a low level
on the OUT pin, the voltage must be below a threshold V_thf. The sensor detects that the
OUT line has been released as soon as V_thr is crossed. Figure 14 shows the timing
definitions for the master pulse. The master low time t_mlow as well as the total trigger time
t_mtr are individual for the different SPC modes and are given in the subsequent sections.
It is recommended to chose the typical master low time exactly between the minimum
and the maximum possible time: t_mlow,typ = (t_mlow,min + t_mlow,max) / 2. Although the
allowed timing windows are larger for longer low times, the master should use a quarz
clock source to provide a high timing accuracy (approx. 1%). For improved robustness,
the master pulse can be adopted by the master once the effective unit time is known
through the sensor’s synchronisation period length. If the master low time exceeds the
maximum low time, the sensor does not respond and is available for a next triggering
