Next Generation 120kHz Bandwidth Current Sensor IC A1363 Piecewise linear temperature compensation will result in a highly accurate current sensor IC. Error within each temperature range can be linearly compensated: - Zero Amp output (Qvo) - Sensitivity (gain) Theoretical offset drift over temperature can be extremely small with this patented piecewise linear temperature compensation technique, employed in many new Allegro products. On request: maximum performance available using multi-temperature testing (advanced testing) allows Allegro to offer cost competitive open loop current sensor solutions with the performance level of a closed loop sensor.
