PRODUCTION DATA
Under normal operation, during high level music playback, it is possible that dynamic load currents can rise beyond the maximum load current, ILIM, of the device. In these cases, the device dynamically limits the current into the load.
Each channel is independently monitored and limited. For each of the four over current (OC) levels that can be set in Miscellaneous Control Register 1, there is a corresponding ILIM as shown in Specifications.
If the load current limit is active for at least 50% of a 200 ms window, the device generates a Load Current Warning Event for the affected channel.
In case the load current warning event is active continuously for 800 ms the device generates a Load Current Fault Event and the channel is placed in the PROTECTIVE SHUTDOWN State. This puts the output stage is high impedance.
If OC level 4 is configured in Miscellaneous Control Register 1, the device will also generate a Load Current Fault Event in case the load current limiter is active consecutively for more than 10 ms.
By default, a fault signal generates an active low signal on the FAULT Pin for when an OC event occurs.
