1. Specifications valid for continuous output currents below 105mA. For operation
above 105mA continuous for > 1 minute, derate accuracy 10%/35mA above
105mA.
2. Full operation (1A) regardless of load to 30°C. Above 30°C ambient, derate
35mA/°C and prorate 35mA/Ω load. 4-wire mode. For current sink operation on
1A range, maximum continuous power is limited to approximately 1/2 rated
power or less, depending on current, up to 30°C ambient. See power equations in
the User’s Manual to calculate allowable duty cycle for specific conditions.
3. For sink mode, 1µA to 100mA range, accuracy is:
±(0.15% + offset*4)
For 1A range, accuracy is:
±(1.5% + offset*8)
