If the operating air gap of a given device is exceeded, the output becomes unpredictable and may not meet specifications or may miss edges. However, depending on target geometry, a gear tooth sensor IC may function beyond the maximum air gap specified. The specifications are established using a reference target that is application appropriate to provide full compliance to all pertinent specifications over all valid operating conditions.
