#178410 - Allergo Variation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Taking a representative example of the Allegro LED Drivers (p/n A6278 / A6279) shows this data in the data sheet.

Output Current (any single output) IO
   --- test condition -------        min    typ   max   unit
   VCE = 0.7 V, REXT = 225 Ω        64.2   75.5  86.8    mA
   VCE = 0.7 V, REXT = 470 Ω        34.1   40.0  45.9    mA
   VCE = 0.6 V, REXT = 3900 Ω       4.25   5.0   5.75    mA
Output Current Matching (difference between any two outputs at the same VCE ) ΔIO
   --- test condition -------              min    typ   max   unit
   VCE(A) = VCE(B) = 0.7 V, REXT = 225 Ω    –    +1.0  +6.0    %
   VCE(A) = VCE(B) = 0.7 V, REXT = 470 Ω    –    +1.0  +6.0    %
   VCE(A) = VCE(B) = 0.6 V, REXT = 3900 Ω   –    +1.0  +6.0    %


For these parts matching between outputs set via a common current set resistor can vary between 1% typical to 6% worst case.

Variation due to the current set resistor and at the data point VCE of a certain value leads to a percentage of +/-15%. There is additional variation of current as the VCE voltage changes which is characterized in graph form in the part data sheet. Lastly the tolerance and tempco of the RSET resistor will add some to the variation as well.
