In addition to the precision analog signal, the TMCS1123 also offers a fast digital overcurrent detection response. The Overcurrent Detection (OCD) circuit provides an open-drain comparator output that can be used to trigger a warning or initiate a system shutdown to prevent damage from excessive current flow caused by short circuits, motor stalls, or other unintended system conditions. This fast digital response can be configured on both bidirectional and unidirectional devices to assert based on a signal that is anywhere from half to over twice the full-scale analog measurement range.
Use of this fast digital output OC instead of the precision analog output VOUT to detect overcurrent events outside the nominal operating current range allows for higher dynamic range with higher sensitivity optimized for the nominal operating current range. Use of this fast digital output OC also allows for lower overall signal noise from lower analog signal bandwidth than often needed when using the analog signal chain to detect fast overcurrent events.
