If there is severe short-circuit event, such as output short to PVDD or ground, the TAS5828M starts shutdown process less than 100ns once peak-current detector is over Overcurrent Threshold (list in Electrical Characteristics - OCE_THRES ). The shutdown speed depends on a number of factors, such as the impedance of the short circuit, supply voltage, and switching frequency.

If an OCSD event occurs, the fault GPIO is pulled low and I²C fault register fault status is reported, then outputs transfer to high impedance Hiz status, signifying a fault. This is a latched error, and the user needs to restart output via I²C clear fault operation.
