8.4.5.1 Open-Load Detection

On-State Open Load Detection

When the main channel is enabled faults are diagnosed by reading the voltage on the SNS or FLT pin and judged by the user. A benefit of high-accuracy current sense is that this device can achieve a very low open-load detection threshold, which correspondingly expands the normal operation region. As explained in section high accuracy sense mode, this mode can be used to sense 6mA currents accurately.

Off-State Open Load Detection (available in ver. A, B, C, D)

In the off state, if a load is connected, the output voltage is pulled to 0V. In the case of an open load, the output voltage is close to the supply voltage, VS – VOUT < Vol,off. The FLT pin goes low to indicate the fault to the MCU, and the SNS pin is pulled up to ISNSFH. There is always a leakage current Iol,off present on the output, due to the internal logic control path or external humidity, corrosion, and so forth. Thus, TI implimented an internal pullup resistor to offset the leakage current. This pullup current should be less than the output load current to avoid false detection in the normal operation mode. To reduce the standby current, TI implimented a switch in series with the pullup resistor controlled by the DIAG_EN pin. The pull up resistor value is 150 kΩ.
