the current output of the charger circuit at a rated output voltage with the power supply operating
in loc

Preferred method
NOTE Figure 2-4 shows the preferred method for measuring current output of the charger
circuit at a rated output voltage with the power supply operating in local sense mode.
Unless high speed transient performance is absolutely required when operating as a sink, the
LO
W bandwidth output mode provides superior results with a constant current or voltage load
such as a battery charger.
