LM2596: LM2596S-ADJ

Part Number:LM2596

Hi,

 my customer is using this device from long time and he always found ICL current limit at 4.8A +-0.3A.

Now in the last lot(same datecode) he found 10% of the units at 5.8A ,while the rest is at 4.8A.

This value is still under the datasheet limit, but he was concerned, because this is creating  an overcurrent protection activation  in the previous stage.

Is it normal that we have such ICL variation within same datecode?

Any possibility to control ICL variation?

Thanks

Umberto
