Half-bridge overcurrent is also monitored by sensing the voltage drop across the external current-sense resistor with the SPX pin. If at any time, the voltage on the SP input of the current-sense amplifier exceeds the VSEN_OCP threshold for longer than the tOCP_DEG deglitch time, a SEN_OCP event is recognized and action is done according to the OCP_MODE bit. On the hardware interface device, the VSENSE threshold is fixed at 1 V, tOCP_DEG is fixed at 4 µs, and the OCP_MODE bit for VSENSE is fixed for 4-ms automatic retry. On the SPI device, the VSENSE threshold is set through the SEN_LVL SPI register and the OCP_MODE bit can operate in four different modes: VSENSE latched shutdown, VSENSE automatic retry, VSENSE report only, and VSENSE disabled.
