PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPA31xxD2 family has protection from over current conditions caused by a short circuit on the output stage. The short circuit protection fault is reported on the FAULTZ pin as a low state. The amplifier outputs are switched to a high impedance state when the short circuit protection latch is engaged. The latch can be cleared by cycling the SDZ pin through the low state.
If automatic recovery from the short circuit protection latch is desired, connect the FAULTZ pin directly to the SDZ pin. This allows the FAULTZ pin function to automatically drive the SDZ pin low which clears the short-circuit protection latch.
In systems where a possibility of a permanent short from the output to PVDD or to a high voltage battery like a car battery can occur, pull the MUTE pin low with the FAULTZ signal with a inverting transistor to ensure a high-Z restart, like shown in the figure below:
