1 Devices are programmed for maximum accuracy at VCC = 5 V. The device contains ratiometry circuits that accurately alter the 0 A Output Voltage and
Sensitivity level of the device in proportion to the applied VCC level. However, as a result of minor nonlinearities in the ratiometry circuit, additional output
error will result when VCC varies from the VCC level at which the device was programmed. Customers that plan to operate the device at a VCC level other
than the VCC level at which the device was programmed should contact their local Allegro sales representative regarding expected device accuracy levels
under these bias conditions.

4 This parameter can drift by as much as 1% over the lifetime of this product.
5 See page 8 on how to set overcurrent fault switchpoint.
6 Switchpoint can be lower at the expense of switchpoint accuracy.
7 This error specification does not include the effect of noise. See the I
NCOMP specification in order to factor in the additional influence of noise on the
fault switchpoint.
8 Fault Enable Delay is designed to avoid false tripping of an Overcurrent (OC) fault at power-up. A 15 µs (typical) delay will always be needed, every
time FAULT_EN is raised from low to high, before the device is ready for responding to any overcurrent event.
9 During power-up, this delay is 15 µs in order to avoid false tripping of an Overcurrent (OC) fault.

1 Although the device is accurate over the entire linear range, the device is programmed for maximum accuracy over the range defined by I
POA .
The reason for this is that in many applications, such as motor control, the start-up current of the motor is approximately three times higher than the
running current.
2V
pk-pk noise (6 sigma noise) is equal to 6 × VNOISE(rms). Lower noise levels than this can be achieved by using Cf for applications requiring narrower
bandwidth. See Characteristic Performance page for graphs of noise versus Cf and bandwidth versus Cf.
