Hey team, 

Got confused on one of the figures in our datasheet and wondering if you can provide clarity. maybe I am missing something simple. 

Why is current negative here?

    Hello Michael,

    The reason the test condition of Iout is specified as negative is because it's based on current going into or out of the device. Current flowing out of the device is negative, while current flowing into the device is positive.
