Dropout voltage

In order to correctly regulate the channel current, a minimum output voltage (VDROP) across

each current generator must be guaranteed.

The Figure 26 and Table 12 show the minimum VDROP related to the regulated current;

these measurements have been recorded with just one output ON. When more than one

output is active the drop voltage increases. At 36 mA per channel, the minimum output

voltage must be increased about 200 mV.

A VDROP, lower than the minimum recommended, implies the regulation of a current lower

than the expected one. However an excess of VDROP increases the power dissipation.
