PRODUCTION DATA
Overcurrent or current limit faults are conditions when the load current that is being sensed trips either the ICUT comparator (350 mA to 400 mA) or the ILIM comparator (400 mA to 450 mA) and turns on the current fault timer. When the overcurrent timer reaches its time out limit that is set between 50 ms to 75 ms the corresponding port is turned off and the over current fault code generated in the Port Status 1 register. If the overcurrent condition goes away prior to the overcurrent timer reaching its limit, the timer is reset and waits for the next event. Figure 8-9 shows an overcurrent fault lasting more than 50 ms that has caused the port to shut off.
