3.7. Magnetic Characteristics
at TJ = −40 °C to +170 °C, VDD = 4.5 V to 14 V, after programming and locking of the device,
at Recommended Operation Conditions if not otherwise specified in the column “Conditions”.
Typical Characteristics for TJ = 25 °C and VDD = 5 V.
For all other temperature ranges this table is also valid, but only in the junction temperature range defined by the
temperature range (Example: For K-Type this table is limited to TJ = −40 °C to +140 °C).

Definition of Sensitivity Errors over Temperature
Micronas specifies two sensitivity errors over
temperature:
A ideal Hall-effect device would not be affected by
temperature. Its temperature compensation would
allow to compensate for a linear temperature coeffi-
cient αIDEAL of a permanent magnet.
1. the error of the linear temperature coefficient α:
Δα = α – α IDEAL
SIDEAL = 1 + αIDEAL × (T – T0)
2. the maximum residual error over temperature
resulting from the least square fit, i.e., the integral
non-linearity of the temperature dependence of sen-
sitivity:
The temperature dependence of the sensitivity of a
real sensor is not ideally linear. Its linear temperature
coefficient α is determined by a linear least square fit.
NLSB(T) = maxT res(T)
SB = S0 × (1 + α × (T – T0) + res(T))
S0 and α are the fit parameters, res(T) the residual error.
