Hi Guys,

i have a question of "Is the current bi-directional or uni-directional?"

Requires an additional input to determine current flow direction

-Vout > VREF --> the system is sinking current

-Vout > VREF --> the system is sourcing current.

Question: Why when system sinking current or sourcing current, both status the Vout > VREF? thanks.

Hello Jimmy,

Thanks for reaching out on the forum. I think you found a typo in our collateral. Can you provide me with a link to where you found this? The bottom should read Vout<Vref.
