Notes
1. G is a 4-bit number contained in control bits G0 to G3 (see Table 12).
2. 6 dB step via a fixed setting, and 16 dB (in 1 dB steps) via AGC control.
3. S is a 7-bit number contained in control bits S0 to S6 (see Table 15).
4. The TZA1000 is guaranteed to operate reliably with sense currents of up to 33 mA.
5. The operational clock frequency (pin 15) must be >16 times higher the SCLK frequency to ensure reliable serial
transfer.
6. W is a 7-bit number contained in control bits W0 to W6 (see Table 14). A more accurate calculation of the write
current would be given by: Ic = It − 0.003 × It2, where It = 125 (W + 1) / 128, It the target current and Ic the
write current.
7. The TZA1000 is guaranteed to supply a write current of up to 60 mA.
8. 10 to 90% of a total current reversal.
9. Difference between negative-to-positive and positive-to-negative current slopes.
