Operating Voltage on Pin 1 (VDD): 5.0V ±
0.5V
Absolute Maximum Voltage* on Pin 1
(VDD): -18 V min, +18 V max (t < 1 h)
Operating Current: 15 mA typ., 20 mA, max.
Output Voltage is Analog (Ratiometric to
Operating Voltage)
Output at Center Position: 50% VDD
Output at Full Travel: 10% VDD or 90%
VDD depending on configuration
Output Voltage Tolerance:
± 3% VDD at full travel

resistor.
Sensor Error: When a sensor error occurs,
the output goes to < 4% of operating voltage
(VDD )
*Exceeding the Absolute Maximum Voltage may result in
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating
only and functional operation of the device at those or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operation
listings of this specification is not implied.
