PRODUCTION DATA
This module controls an external PMOS in current-limited high-side switch.
The current levels can be adjusted with an external sense resistor. Enable and disable is done with the HS_EN bit. The switch is controlled by the HSPWM input pin. Driving HSPWM high turns on the external FET.
The device offers an open load diagnostic indicated by the HS_OL flag in the SPI register PWR_STAT. Open load is also indicated in case the voltage on VINPROT–VSSENSE does not drop below the threshold when PWM is low (self-test).
A counter monitors the overcurrent condition to detect the risk of overheating. While HSPWM = high and HS_EN = high the counter is incremented during overcurrent conditions, and decremented if the current is below the overcurrent threshold at a sampling interval of tS HS (shown in Figure 8-9). When reaching a net current limit time of tHSS CL, the driver is turned off and the HS_EN bit is cleared. This feature can be disabled by SPI bit HS_CLDIS. When HS_EN is cleared, the counter is reset.
In case the LED or High-Side Switch Control is not used in the application, HSSENSE must be connected to VINPROT
