7.3.8.3 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. Normal operation resumes automatically (motor-driver operation starts and nFAULT released) after the tRETRY time has elapsed and the fault condition is removed.
