About the rated current of the output terminal of LTC2053

Question

Hello 
 What is the rated current of the output terminal of LTC2053? 
 I would be grateful if you could reply. 
 Best Regards, Knj

Hi Knj: Minimum output currents are guaranteed by the "Output Voltage Swing" tests. So, for example, on +/-5V supply we guarantee +/-4.5V output swing onto a 2k load, thereby guaranteeing +/-2.25mA capability (that's over Temperature). 
 For higher currents, you can consult the typical "Output Voltage Swing versus Output Current" plots further down in the data sheet. You can see the output stage is starting to faint much north of 10mA. 
 I notice there's no loaded Gain test. However, I do know that the internal opamp is practically identical to LTC2050 which guarantees Gain with a 10k load. So to maintain the uV kind of accuracies, you wouldn't want to load the LTC2053 heavier than 10k. 
 Hope this answers all your questions.
