depending on a primary conductor layout on PCB. Please see the application note provided in the

Note 5. Total accuracy ETO is calculated by the equation below.
ETO = |100 × (Vh_meas − 200) / 200| + |100 × (Vof_meas − Vof_meas_35) / (200 × 20.5 / 1000)| + |ρmeas|
where Vh_meas[mV/A], Vof_meas[V], ρmeas[%F.S.] represent the measured value of sensitivity,
zero-current output voltage and linearity error respectively, Vh[mV/A] represent the typical value of
sensitivity, and Vof_meas_35[V] represent the measured value of zero-current output voltage at Ta = 35°C.

10. Characteristics Definitions
10.1. Sensitivity Vh [mV/A], Zero-current output Voltage Vof [V]
Sensitivity is defined as the slope of the approximate straight line calculated by the least square method,
using the data of VOUT pin voltage (VOUT) when the primary current (IIN) is swept within 0~10A.
Zero-current output voltage is defined as the intercept of the approximate straight line above.
10.2. Linearity Error ρ [%F.S.]
Linearity error is defined as the ration of the maximum error voltage (Vd) to the full scale (F.S.), where Vd is
the maximum difference between the VOUT pin voltage (VOUT) and the approximate straight line calculated
in the sensitivity and zero-current output voltage definition. Definition formula is shown in below:
ρ = Vd / F.S. × 100
Full scale (F.S.) is defined by the multiplication of the linear sensing range and sensitivity (Figure 4).

10.3. Ratiometric Error of Sensitivity Vh-R [%] and Ratiometric Error of Zero-Current Output Voltage Vof-R
[%F.S.]
Output of CQ-330E is ratiometric, which means the values of sensitivity (Vh) and zero-current output
voltage (Vof) are proportional to the supply voltage (VDD). Ratiometric error is defined as the difference
between the Vh (or Vof) and ideal Vh (or Vof) when the VDD is changed from 5.0V to VDD1 (4.5V ≤ VDD1 ≤
5.5V). Definition formula is shown in below:
Vh-R = 100 × {(Vh(VDD = VDD1) / Vh(VDD = 5.0V)) – (VDD1 / 5.0)} / (VDD1 / 5.0)
Vof-R = 100 × (Vof(VDD = VDD1) – Vof(VDD = 5.0V) × VDD1 / 5.0) / F.S.
Full scale (F.S.) is defined by the multiplication of the linear sensing range and sensitivity at the condition of
VDD = 5.0V (Figure 4).

[CQ-330E]
10.4. Temperature Drift of Sensitivity Vh-d [%] , Temperature Drift of Zero-current output Voltage Vof-d [mV]
Temperature drift of sensitivity is defined as the drift ratio of the sensitivity (Vh) at Ta = Ta1 (–40°C ≤ Ta1 ≤
90°C) to the Vh at Ta = 35°C, and calculated from the formula below:
Vh-d = 100 × (Vh(Ta = Ta1) / Vh(Ta = 35°C) – 1)
Maximum temperature drift of sensitivity (Vh-dmax) is defined as the maximum value of |Vh-d| through the
defined temperature range.
Temperature drift of zero-current output voltage is defined as the drift value between the zero-current output
voltage (Vof) at Ta = Ta1 (–40°C ≤ Ta1 ≤ 90°C) and the Vof at Ta = 35°C, and calculated from the formula
below:
Vof-d = Vof(Ta = Ta1) – Vof(Ta = 35°C)
Maximum temperature drift of zero-current output voltage (Vof-dmax) is defined as the maximum value of
|Vof-d| through the defined temperature range.
Reference data of the temperature drift of sensitivity and zero-current output voltage are shown in Figure 5.

10.5. Rise Response Time tr [µsec] and Fall Response Time tf [µsec]
Rise response time (or fall response time) is defined as the time delay from the 90% (or 10%) of input
primary current (IIN) to the 90% (or 10%) of the VOUT pin voltage (VOUT) under the pulse input of primary
current (Figure 6).

Figure 8. Recommended external circuits of CQ-330E
(a) 0.1F bypass capacitor should be placed near by the CQ-330E.
(b) CQ-330E has the ratiometric output. By making the supply voltage of CQ-330E and the reference voltage
of A/D converter common, the A/D conversion error caused by the fluctuation of supply voltage is
decreased. Voltage dividers (R1 and R2) are required if the reference voltage of A/D converter is less than
+5V.
For example, if the reference voltage of A/D converter is +3.3V which is its supply voltage level, R1=20kΩ,
R2=39kΩ are recommended. If the reference voltage of A/D converter is different from its supply voltage
level, one more voltage divider is required.
(c) Add a low-pass filter if it is necessary.
