PRODUCTION DATA
Each channel has a wire-break detection circuit which includes a secondary comparator to detect the integrity of field sensor wiring. The sensor or a switch has a wire break resistor across it which passes a small current above 240µA to the INx. If the input current is below the IWB, the WBx in the SPI register is set and it will be flagged on the nFAULT pin. Wire-break detection works only in Sink Mode. The wire-break resistor RIWB is calculated as per the equation
where VINx is the excitation voltage for the sensor or switch connected.
