PRODUCTION DATA
The hardware lock detection current limit function provides a configurable threshold for limiting the current to prevent damage to the system. The output of current sense amplifier is connected to hardware comparator. If at any time, the voltage on the output of CSA exceeds HW_LOCK_ILIMIT threshold for a time longer than tHW_LOCK_ILIMIT, a HW_LOCK_ILIMIT event is recognized and action is taken according to the HW_LOCK_ILIMIT_MODE. The threshold is set through HW_LOCK_ILIMIT, the tHW_LCK_ILIMIT is set through the HW_LOCK_ILIMIT_DEG. HW_LOCK_ILIMIT_MODE bit can operate in four different modes: HW_LOCK_ILIMIT latched shutdown, HW_LOCK_ILIMIT automatic retry, HW_LOCK_ILIMIT report only, and HW_LOCK_ILIMIT disabled.
