If the load is disconnected due a break in the connecting wire, an alert is desired. Open-load detection can be performed in the switch-enabled state with the current sense feature of the TPS272C45 device. Similarly in the off-state, a check for wire break can be performed. Under open load condition, with the DIA_EN set high, the current in the SNS pin is the fault current and the can be detected from the sense voltage measurement.
