7.3.9.3 Overcurrent Protection (OCP)

An analog current-limit circuit on each FET limits the current through the FET by removing the gate drive. If this current limit persists for longer than the tOCP time, the FETs in that particular H-bridge are disabled and the nFAULT pin is driven low. The charge pump remains active during this condition. Once the OCP condition is removed, normal operation resumes after applying an nSLEEP reset pulse or a power cycling.
