Note 2: Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C and/or T
A
= +125°C. Limits over the operating temperature range and
relevant supply voltage range are guaranteed by design and characterization. Typical values are not guaranteed.
Note 3: When using suggested external 2.2kω series resistors, limits of -3V to +36V apply.
Note 4: f
IN
refers to the maximum pulse frequency (1/f
IN
= shortest pulse width) that can be detected from the field sensors and
switches.
Note 5: External resistor R
REF
can be adjusted to set any desired current limit between 0.5mA and 6mA.
Note 6: See Figure 8.
Note 7: See Figure 5.
Note 8: See Figure 7.
Note 9: See Figure 6.
Note 10: This is the maximum bit transfer rate through the serializer interface.
