If the output current at DO exceeds the internally-set current limit IO(LIM) for a duration longer than the current blanking time, tSC, the device detects the condition as an overcurrent fault.
In pin-mode, the SDO/NFLT2 pin is driven logic low to indicate a fault condition. The output can be set to either turn off (auto-recovery mode) or continue to supply the current until the device enters thermal shutdown. The behavior depends on how the ILIM_ADJ2 pin is connected. See Table 7-2 In the auto-recovery mode, the driver periodically retries to check if the output is still in the over current condition. In this mode, the output is switched on for tSC in tSCEN intervals. Current fault auto retry mode can be disabled by setting ILIM_ADJ2 = OPEN or GND. Current fault blanking time is zero when ILIM_ADJ2=OPEN.
In SPI-mode, DO_CURLIM register settings can be used to configure the DO driver behavior. DO_CUR_LIM bits set the current limit whereas the DO_BL_TIME and DO_RETRY_TIME set the current fault blanking time and auto-recovery time respectively. DO_RETRY_EN controls the auto-recovery behavior.
When the driver is disabled, the current limit indicator is inactive.
