SENSE
= (V

) = 0V, T
A
= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at T
A
= +25°C.) (Note 1)
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: V
OUT
= 0. I
CC
is the total current into RS+ plus RS- pins.
Note 3: V
OS
is extrapolated from measurements for the gain-error test.
Note 4: Gain error is calculated by applying two values of V
SENSE
and calculating the error of the slope vs. the ideal:
Gain = 25, V
SENSE
is 20mV and 120mV.
Gain = 50, V
SENSE
is 10mV and 60mV.
Gain = 100, V
SENSE
is 5mV and 30mV.
Note 5: The device is stable for any external capacitance value.
Note 6: V
OH
is the voltage from V
RS-
to V
OUT
with V
SENSE
= 3.6V/gain.
