Datasheet figures typically show a minimum, typical, and maximum output current, for a given power supply voltage/temperature.
In normal operation, what limits the maximum output current capability - is it a thermal/dissipation limit only ?
i.e. circuit 1 is required to operate between 0 and 50C, IC is specified to 85C, so what is the maximum output current available in these conditions ?
Imin (datasheet), Itypical, Imax ?
When is Imin not Imin, and Imax really Itypical ?
