The sensor has an output of half supply voltage (2.5V) at zero magnetic field with a sensitivity of 1.3mV/Gauss. This makes it suitable for connection to the XO1.5 (input range 0.17 - 3.3V). For the XO1.0 (input range 0.4 - 1.85V ) a 2:1 voltage divider is necessary.

Compare the sensitivity, 1.3mV/Gauss with common magnetic fields http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_%28unit%29
