5.1. Application Circuit
All sensors fulfill the electrical and magnetic characteris-
tics when operated within the Recommended Operating
Conditions (see page 7).
Figure 5–1 shows a simple application with a two-wire
sensor. The current consumption can be detected by
measuring the voltage over R . For correct functioning
Typically, the sensors operate with supply voltages
above 3 V. However, below 4 V, the current consumption
and the magnetic characteristics may be outside the
specification.
