[1] Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the CT455: The CT455 may not function or be operable at levels that exceed the
recommended operating conditions, and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addition, extended exposure to stresses that
exceed the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

[1] TheRecommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual operation of the CT455. Recommended operating conditions are
specified to ensure optimal performance to the specifications. Allegro does not recommend exceeding them or designing to absolute maximum

The CT455 provides a continuous linear analog output voltage Power-On Time (tON)
that represents the magnetic field generated by the current flow-
ing through the busbar. Power-on time (tON) of 100 µs is the amount of time required
by CT455 to start up, fully power the chip, and become fully
For the 5 V variant, the output voltage range of OUT is from operational from the moment the supply voltage is greater than
