SLLSFP7A december 2022 – april 2023 MCT8315A
PRODUCTION DATA
The lock detection current limit function provides a configurable threshold for limiting the current to prevent damage to the system. The MCT8315A continuously monitors the output of the current sense amplifier (CSA) through the ADC. If at any time, the voltage on the output of CSA exceeds LOCK_ILIMIT for a time longer than tLCK_ILIMIT, a LOCK_ILIMIT event is recognized and action is taken according to LOCK_ILIMIT_MODE. The threshold is set through LOCK_ILIMIT, the tLCK_ILIMIT is set through LOCK_ILIMIT_DEG. LOCK_ILIMIT_MODE can be set to four different modes: LOCK_ILIMIT latched shutdown, LOCK_ILIMIT automatic retry, LOCK_ILIMIT report only and LOCK_ILIMIT disabled.
