[1] Typical values are at TA = 25°C and VCC = 12 V. Performance may vary for individual units, within the specified maximum and minimum limits.
[2] Maximum voltage must be adjusted for power dissipation and junction temperature; refer to Power Derating section.

PO should be ignored.
[6] Differential magnetic field is measured for Channel A (E1-E2) and Channel B (E2-E3) independently. Each channel’s differential magnetic field is measured between two
Hall elements. Magnetic field is measured orthogonally to the front of the package. BDIFF(pk-pk) only valid at TA(max) due to magnetic temperature compensation. Refer to
