1For input and output current specifications, negative current is defined as coming out of (sourcing) the specified device pin.
2Typical data are for initial design estimations only, and assume optimum manufacturing and application conditions. Performance may vary for individual
units, within the specified maximum and minimum limits.
3VERR = [(VREF/8) – VSENSE] / (VREF/8).
4Overcurrent protection (OCP) is tested at TA = 25°C in a restricted range and guaranteed by characterization.
