7.3.4.2 Open-Load Detection

When the channel is on, for TPS27S100A, if the current flowing through the output is less than I(ol,on), the device recognizes an open-load fault. For TPS27S100B, if an open-load event occurs, it can be detected as an ultra-low VIMON and handled by the microcontroller.

When the channel is off, if a load is connected, the output is pulled down to GND. But if an open load occurs, the output voltage is close to the supply voltage (VIN – VOUT < V(ol,off)), and the fault is reported out.

There is always a leakage current I(ol,off) present on the output due to internal logic control path or external humidity, corrosion, and so forth. Thus, TI recommends an external pullup resistor to offset the leakage current when an open load is detected. The recommended pullup resistance is 15 kΩ.
