ADVANCE INFORMATION
The device is protected in case of overcurrent or short circuit of the load. There are two overcurrent thresholds (see Figure 7-13):
IL_OCP0 between channel switch ON and tOCPIN
IL_OCP1 after tOCPIN
The values of IL_OCP0 and IL_OCP1 depend on the OCP bit. Every time the channel is switched OFF for a time longer than 2 * tSYNC the over load current threshold is set back to IL_OCP0.
In case the load current is higher than IL_OCP0 or IL_OCP1, after time tOFF_OCP the over loaded channel is switched OFF and the diagnosis bit ERRx is set. The channel can be switched ON after clearing the protection latch by setting the corresponding CLRx bit to 1b. This bit is set back to 0b internally after de-latching the channel. Please refer to Figure 7-14 for details.
