Data sheet says "Typical Output Drive: 70mA"
Model will only source 0.258mA, but will sink 70mA.
Should the statement "Typical Output Drive: 70mA" be more specific for asymmetric sourcing and sinking?

Hi CSV,
This report was forwarded to our internal team for checking and correction.
Please be advised that we have officially released LTspice 17.1, please download your copy at:
https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-simulator.html
All library model updates will be reflected there.
The model is correct,
but the Data Sheet and Web Page statement "Typical Output Drive: 70mA" https://www.analog.com/en/products/lt1018.html
is half true.
LTspice models can be updated with a program function, does the new release contain anything else new?
Thanks
Hi CSV,
I meant that if ever the LT1018 model needed updates, it will be reflected on the LTspice 17.1 new version only, not on the LTspice XVII anymore.
The LT1018 output stage is low power class B. The NPN connected to VCC is an emitter follower and source more current than the weak PNP connected to VEE.

Thanks,
I was addressing the almost correct info on the web site and the data sheet, not the internal workings :-)
