PRODUCTION DATA
The device integrates VS OV and UV protectors with programmable thresholds. OV and UV comparators are useful for flagging an over voltage or undervoltage on particular pins. This feature can be used to implement Over Current detect feature by monitoring an external amplifier that amplifies the voltage across a current shunt resistor. These protectors are independent of the ADC functionality or the ADC measurements path. The OVUV protectors can operate in ACTIVE or SLEEP mode. The subsections below provide an overview of the protectors. See Section 8.3.5.4 for diagnostic control function and status of this block
A set window comparator provides voltage monitoring for all VS channels. This comparator function is entirely separate from the ADC function and as such, even if the ADC function fails, the analog comparators still flag the crossing of the overvoltage (OV) and undervoltage (UV) comparator thresholds. The programmed thresholds are translated through DACs to the comparators.
The OV and UV thresholds set by OV_THRESH and UV_THRESH registers are the same for all VS channels.
The UV_DISABLE1 and UV_DISABLE2 registers setting disable any individual channel for UV detection.
Otherwise, the OV protector detects an OV fault on a particular channel if the VS channel voltage is greater than the OV_THRESH setting. The UV protector detects a UV fault on a particular channel if the VS channel voltage is less than the UV_THRESH setting.
