6.3.6.3 FAULT Reporting

The global FLT pin is used to monitor the global fault condition among all the channels. When a fault condition occurs on any channel, the FLT pin is pulled down to GND. A 3.3-V or 5-V external pullup is required to match the supply level of the microcontroller. The FLT pin reports faults on any channel as long as the device is not in the SLEEP or LOW POWER MODE.

After the FAULT report, the microcontroller can check and identify the channel in fault status by multiplexed current sensing. The SNS pin also works as a fault report with an internal pullup voltage, VSNSFH if DIAG_EN is high.
