PRODUCTION DATA.
Repeatable short-circuit testing results are difficult to obtain. The many details of source bypassing, input leads, circuit layout and component selection, output shorting method, relative location of the short, and instrumentation all contribute to obtaining different results. The actual short itself exhibits a certain degree of randomness as it microscopically bounces and arcs. Care in configuration and methods must be used to obtain realistic results. Do not expect to see waveforms exactly like those in the data sheet—every setup differs.
