PRODUCTION DATA
SELx pins are used to multiplex the shared current-sense function among the four channels within the same device. Pulling each pin high or low sets the corresponding channel to be output on the SNS pin if DIAG_EN is high. FLT still represents a global interrupt that goes low if a fault occurs on any channel.
If current sense information needs to be multiplexed across different devices, then it is not recommended to directly tie the SNS pins together across multiple devices. When the DIAG_EN is LOW, there is an internal clamp at SNS pin that clamps the voltage to approximately 2V. One device SNS pin might affect the other devices SNS readback if tied directly.
To use SNS pin across multiple devices, it is recommended to connect individual SNS pin to different analog input pins of MCU, as illustrated in Figure 6-13. Alternatively, an external analog MUX can be used to connect to a single MCU pin, as illustrated in Figure 6-14.
