Current generators characteristics

9.2
Current accuracy
A typical current accuracy of ±1% (±3% maximum) between channels is guaranteed at 22
mA and 55 mA output current (refer to Table 6) and ± 6% (maximum) current accuracy
between ICs.
9.3
Generators voltage drop
In order to correctly regulate the current, a minimum dropout voltage must be assured
across the current generators.
Figure 17 and Table 9 provides just an indicative idea about the dropout voltage to assure
over the current range. However it is recommended to use value of VDROP slightly higher
than those indicated in Figure 17 and Table 9.
