(1) Output Current Accuracy is the difference between the actual value of the output current and programmed value of this current. Matching is the maximum difference from the average. For the constant current sinks on the part (OUTx), the following are determined: the maximum output current (MAX), the minimum output current (MIN), and the average output current of all outputs (AVG). Matching number is calculated: (MAX-MIN)/AVG. The typical specification provided is the most likely norm of the matching figure for all parts. LED current sinks were characterized with 1-V headroom voltage. Note that some manufacturers have different definitions in use.
