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 (70% of the externally set current limit) or ICL_INTERNAL_TSD (6.5 A when using the internal current limit) to keep the power stressing on the power FET to a minimum. The device automatically recovers when the fault condition is removed.
