> You understand my concern? :-) Yes. I would (a) nag Allegro until my query was answered and/or (b) keep testing and plan for the worst case. Unless you start making your own sensors you're stuck with what Allegro can supply, so you just have to suck your guts in and smile I've found that in general testing a reasonable number of samples is indicative of what to expect and any changes by the manufacturer are likely to improve parameters (although there have been instances mentioned on the list of some specs of an IC degrading when another spec is improved, but this seems to be rare) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
