SLASF99 December 2023 TAS5827
PRODUCTION DATA
If there is a severe short-circuit event, such as output short to PVDD or ground, the TAS5827 starts the shutdown process less than 100 ns once the peak-current detector is over the Overcurrent Threshold (list in Electrical Characteristics - OCETHRES ). The shutdown speed depends on several factors, such as the impedance of the short circuit, supply voltage, and switching frequency.
If an OCSD event occurs, the fault GPIO is pulled low and I2C fault register fault status ( CHAN_FAULT Register (Offset = 70h) [Reset = 00h] -D[1:0] ) is reported, then outputs transfer to high impedance Hi-Z status, signifying a fault. This is a latched error, and the user needs to restart output via I2C clear fault operation by setting FAULT_CLEAR Register (Offset = 78h) [Reset = 00h] -D[0] = 1.
