8.3.6.1 Short-to-GND and Overload Detection

When a channel is on, a short to GND or overload condition causes overcurrent. If the overcurrent triggers either the internal or external current-limit threshold, the fault condition is reported out. The microcontroller can handle the overcurrent by turning off the switch. The device heats up if no actions are taken. If a thermal shutdown occurs, the current limit is ICL(TSD) to keep the power stressing on the power FET to a minimum. The device automatically recovers when the fault condition is removed.
