PRODUCTION DATA
The temperature threshold for global OTW has four levels and can be configured in Miscellaneous Control Register 1. The OTW generated by the output channels, OTW(i), are set to a fixed value. Refer to Specifications for nominal temperature and recovery hysteresis values.
During operation when the device heats up and crosses the threshold a global Over Temperature Warning Event is generated. Similarly, if the temperature at a channel raises above the threshold an Over Temperature Warning Event for that channel is generated. While the device continues to operate, the OTW information enables higher level software to make decisions to optimize thermal system performance.
Based on the default configuration a Warning Signal is generated. As described in the Warning Signal section the signal can either be polled via I2C register or a hardware signal can be generated by use of a GPIO Pin or FAULT Pin.
