Product Information
4.2 Operating conditions
☞ All specifications are at an ambient temperature of 25°C. Extreme operating temperatures can
significantly impact specification values. Applications operating near the temperature limits
should be tested to ensure the specification.

4.3 Indicative current requirements
Table 11 lists examples of the total system supply current for a possible application.
☞ Values in Table 11 are provided for customer information only as an example of typical power
requirements. Values are characterized on samples, actual power requirements can vary
depending on FW version used, external circuitry, number of SVs tracked, signal strength, type of
start as well as time, duration and conditions of test.
