Characteris cs Defini ons
Quiescent voltage Output: With no magne c field present the device in the quiescent state and the voltage output is approximately
equal to one‐half the supply voltage (VOQ = VCC / 2) over the opera ng voltage and temperature
range. The change in quiescent voltage output over temperature gives the device’s equivalent
accuracy and is specified in gauss by the calcula on.
VOQ (TA) ‐ VOQ (25°C)
ΔVOQ (T) = ————————‐
Sens (25°C)
Sensi vity: A magne c south pole at, and perpendicular to, the device’s symbolized package face will increase
the voltage output above the quiescent value. Conversely a magne c north pole will decrease the
voltage output below the quiescent value. This change in voltage output with applied magne c
field is sensi vity and is specified in mV/G by the calcula on.

Ra ometry: The quiescent voltage output and sensi vity of these ra ometric linear Hall‐effect devices are
propor onal to the supply voltage. The change in quiescent voltage output with supply voltage is
specified in percent by the calcula on
