*1) these are maximum switching frequencies of the IC itself; switching frequencies of sensors may be higher than those given above, *2) the fall time on leaving the start-up interval depends on the load used and can be as long as 10ms, *3) this is the maximum start-up time of the chip itself; this parameter does not reflect performance of a sensor; during the start-up interval the output is inactive (OFF) regardless of the state of the NO/NC pin.
