VIOUT(IPR(max)/2) is the output of the sensor IC with half of the IPR(max)
maximum measurement current flowing through it.

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

thermal drift.
+ETOT
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 25C 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 (%)

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 25C and across temperature. Figure2 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
90% VIOUT VIOUT
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.

Rise Time (tr). The time interval between a) when the sensor IC
reaches 10% of its full-scale value, and b) when it reaches 90% (%) Primary Current

derive the bandwidth of the current sensor IC, in which (3dB) 90
