performance. The actual transition time is defined as the time for the input to change from

10% to 90%, or vice versa, of the programmed current values. In case of very large load

changes, e.g. from no load to full load, the actual transition time will be larger than the

expected time. The load will automatically adjust the slew rate to fit within the range (high or

low) that is closest to the programmed value.
