PRODUCTION DATA.
Detection of an open-load condition occurs when the voltage across the channel, V(VIN) – V(IOUTx), is less than the open-load detection voltage, V(OLV). When this condition is present for more than the open-load-detection deglitch (2 ms when PWM is 100% on or one PWM on-time is more than 2 ms, or seven continuous PMW duty cycles when in PWM dimming mode), the FAULT pin goes low, keeping the open channel on and turning the other channel off. With the FAULT pin tied high, all channels remain turned on. The channel recovers on removal of the open condition. Note that the device can detect an open load if the sum of the forward voltages of the LEDs in a string is close to or greater than the supply voltage on VIN.
