When the channel output is enabled and the FET is on, the VOUT short-to-battery and open-load conditions can be detected by the current sense feature. In both cases, the load current as measured using the current sense circuit and the ADC (available in the ADC_RESULT_CHx_I register, CH1 shown as example) as below the expected value. The current sense accuracy can be increased at low current levels by changing the current sense ratio from a nominal value of 5000 to a lower value of 1200. This is accomplished by setting the OL_ON_EN_CHx bit to 1 in the DIAG_CONFIG_CHx register (CH1 shown for example). However, the load current needs to be confirmed to be below 100 mA for this bit to take effect. In addition, the voltage input to the ADC can be scaled by a factor of 8 by setting the ISNS_SCALE_CHx bit in the same DIAG_CONFIG_CHx register (CH1 shown for example). This enables the ADC to measure the low load current with better resolution.
