Remark 1: for a reduced temperature range of -40oC to 135oC, the MLX90320 is able to cover the output voltage
range from 5%Vdd till 95%Vdd for all loads higher then 2kOhm.
Remark 2: When using a pull up load, during a fault condition, a leakage current of 20µA maximum will flow in the
load. The voltage drop due to this leakage current will limit the achievable high voltage. To be sure that the high
fault band is always achieved during a fault condition a load smaller than 4%Vdd/ 20µA = 10kOhm has to be
used.
Remark 3: Each clamping level itself has an inaccuracy of +/-2%Vdd maximum. But the 1.3%Vdd step between
each level is very accurate. By selecting the clamping level closest to the desired level an accuracy of +/-
0.65%Vdd can be reached. To be sure that there is never an overlap between the fault bad and the normal band
it is better to keep at least a 1%Vdd gap between the clamping level and the fault band (i.e. the maximum
clamping level should be ≤ 95%Vdd and the minimum should be ≥ 5%Vdd).
