APPLICATION HINTS
Connecting MR sensor bridges for safety-related applications
For safety-related applications iC-MSBSAFETY requires an external overvoltage protection of supply VDD (Zener
diode with fuse, for instance) and external pull-down resistors at the inputs X3 to X6 towards GNDS (of up to
100 kΩ).
