High side Current monitor IC needs 1V of "headroom"?

[treez]

Hello,
The LT1787 high side current monitor IC seems to need at least 1V of "headroom" between the "Vout" pin and the "Vs+" pin.
This is seen from the LTspice simulation model of LT1787.

However, the LT1787 datasheet makes no mention of this 1V of headroom.
How can I tell what the exact headroom is from the datasheet?

VOMAX Maximum Output Voltage Vs+ - 0.75V

Yes, I saw that, but if you run the simulation, you see that it doesn't work right if its only 0.75V...it has to be at least 1V...so I wonder is the simulation model wrong, or is the datasheet wrong?

The datasheet lists that as a "typical" value. No min or max is given.

I must admit I am baffled as to why the datasheet should omit this extremely crucial parameter...this parameter should be right up on the top page.
I am just wondering if a lower-component-count solution could be had with INA282 monitor IC?
