INA4235: Accuracy issue in <5mA

Part Number: INA4235

Tool/software:

Hi team,

We occur TI INA423X GUI tool will configure wrong number in calibration parameter with max expected current 3A, so I calculate the right number and fill in (5107).

After that, I read the Current register to calculate the real current as below Table1.

 

As you see, the error will rise quickly under 5mA, even I read power for a while to calculate average current.
