ADVANCE INFORMATION
All high-side drivers have a timed constant current mode feature, which can be used to provide a constant current for a short duration to the desired output. This mode is enabled with bit OUTx_CCM_EN in register HS_REG_CNFG2. When enabled, the current from the high-side driver is limited to the configured limit for a short duration (10 or 20 ms).
There are two timing and current limit options for constant current mode. This is configured with bit OUTX_CCM_TO in register HS_REG_CNFG2, summarized in the table below:
OUTX_CCM_TO | Current Limit (ICCM) | Timeout (tCCMto |
---|---|---|
0b | 200 mA | 20 ms |
1b | 390 mA | 10 ms |
This constant current mode feature is enabled only if the OUTx_CCM_EN bit is set prior to enabling the high-side driver. CCM automatically expires after expiration time tCCMtimeout. After timeout, the driver remains enabled and configured based on OUTx_CNFG bits in register HS_EC_HEAT_CTRL.
Required Register Configuration Sequence:
If constant current mode is configured after configuring the high-side driver, the CCM mode will not regulate.
For OUTx_CCM_EN bit:
The short circuit and over current detection are active/enabled when the driver is ON, PWM driven, but NOT in constant current mode. Open load detection is always active.
