Adding a resistor in series with the CS pin causes the ob-
served output LED current to shift very slightly. The reason
for this is twofold: (1) the CS pin has about 20pF of inherent
capacitance inside it which causes a slight delay (20ns for a
1kΩ series resistor), and (2) the comparator that is watching
the voltage at the CS pin uses a pnp bipolar transistor at its

input. The base current of this pnp transistor is approximately
100nA which will cause a 0.1mV change in the 200mV thresh-
old. These are both very minor changes and are well under-
stood. The shift in current can either be neglected or taken
into consideration by changing the current sense resistance
slightly.
