The switchpoint will vary over temperature. A sufficient margin obtained through customer testing is required to guarantee functionality over
temperature. Programming at larger air gaps leaves no safety margin for switchpoint drift. See the applications note Proximity Sensing
Programming Technique on the Allegro website at http://www.allegromicro.com for additional information.

The switchpoint will vary over temperature, proportionally to the programmed air gap. This parameter is based on characterization data and is not
a tested parameter in production. Switchpoint air gap generally drifts downward as temperature increases.
