Definition of typical, minimum and maximum values
Minimum and maximum values for specified limiting and safety conditions have to be understood as such as well as values shown
in “typical” graphs.
On the other hand, measured values are part of a statistical distribution that can be specified by an interval with upper and lower
limits and a probability for measured values to lie within this interval.
Unless otherwise stated (e.g. “100 % tested”), the LEM definition for such intervals designated with “min” and “max” is that the
probability for values of samples to lie in this interval is 99.73 %.
For a normal (Gaussian) distribution, this corresponds to an interval between −3 sigma and +3 sigma. If “typical” values are not
obviously mean or average values, those values are defined to delimit intervals with a probability of 68.27 %, corresponding to an
interval between −sigma and +sigma for a normal distribution.
Typical, maximal and minimal values are determined during the initial characterization of a product.

Figure 11: Typical total output RMS noise current
with RM = 50 Ω
Figure 10 (output RMS noise voltage spectral density) shows
that there are no significant discrete frequencies in the output.
Figure 11 confirms the absence of steps in the total output RMS
noise current that would indicate discrete frequencies.
To calculate the noise in a frequency band f1 to f2, the formula
is:
Ino(f1 to f2) = Ino (f2)2 − Ino (f1)2
with Ino(f) read from figure 11 (typical, RMS value).
Example:
What is the noise from 10 to 100 Hz?
Figure 11 gives Ino(10 Hz) = 0.26 µA
and Ino(100 Hz) = 0.8 µA.
The output RMS noise current is therefore.
(0.8 × 10−6)2 − (0.26 × 10−6)2 = 0.76 µA

Transducer simplified model
The static model of the transducer at temperature TA is:
IS = G⋅VP + ε
In which
ε = IO E + IO T (TA) + εG⋅G⋅VP + εG T (TA)⋅G⋅VP + εL⋅G⋅VP M

: temperature variation of IO at
temperature TA (A)
: sensitivity error at 25 °C

This is the absolute maximum error. As all errors are independent, a more realistic way to calculate the error would be to
use the following formula:
ε=

Sensitivity and linearity
To measure sensitivity and linearity, the primary voltage (DC)
is cycled from 0 to VP M, and back to 0 (equally spaced VP M/10
steps).
The sensitivity G is defined as the slope of the linear
regression line for a cycle between 0 to VP M.
The linearity error εL is the maximum positive or negative
difference between the measured points and the linear
regression line, expressed in % of the maximum measured
value.
Electrical offset
The electrical offset current IO E is the residual output current
when the input voltage is zero.
The temperature variation IO T of the electrical offset current
IO E is the variation of the electrical offset from 25 °C to the
considered temperature.
Overall accuracy
The overall accuracy XG is the error at VP N, relative to the
rated value VP N.
It includes all errors mentioned above.
Response and reaction times
The response time tr and the reaction time tra are shown in the
next figure.
Both depend on the primary voltage dv/dt. They are measured
at nominal voltage.

Caution, risk of electrical shock
When operating the transducer, certain parts of the module
can carry hazardous voltage (e.g. primary connections,
power supply). Ignoring this warning can lead to injury and/
or cause serious damage. This transducer is a build-in
