De
fi
nitions of Dynamic Response Characteristics
Propagation delay (t
PROP
):
The time required for the sensor output to re
fl
ect a change in the primary current
signal. Propagation delay is attributed to inductive loading within the linear IC package, as well as in the induc-
tive loop formed by the primary conductor geometry. Propagation delay can be considered as a
fi
xed time offset
and may be compensated.
Response time (t
RESPONSE
):
The time interval between a) when the primary current signal reaches 90% of its
fi
nal value, and b) when the sensor reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the applied current.
Rise time (t
r
):
The time interval between a) when the sensor reaches 10% of its full scale value, and b) when
it reaches 90% of its full scale value. The rise time to a step response is used to derive the bandwidth of the
current sensor, in which (–3 dB) = 0.35 / t
r
. Both t
r
and t
RESPONSE
are detrimentally affected by eddy current
losses observed in the conductive IC ground plane and, to varying degrees, in the ferrous
fl
ux concentrator
within the current sensor package.
