Power-supply Fail
Open-load Detection
Atmel ATA6832C [Preliminary]
If undervoltage is detected at pin VS, the power-supply fail bit (PSF) in the output register is
set and all outputs are disabled. To detect an undervoltage, its duration has to last longer than
the undervoltage detection delay time t
supply voltage returns to the normal operational value. The PSF bit stays high until it is reset
by the SRR bit in the input register.
If the open-load detection bit (OLD) is set to low, a pull-up current for each high-side switch
and a pull-down current for each low-side switch is turned on (open-load detection current
I
The open load condition of all the outputs is indicated in the SPI output register bit 1-6.
High-side open load is detected in case of OUT1-3 voltage above maximum voltage
VOUT1-3_OLD_HTh while Low-side open load is detected in case of OUT1-3 voltage below
minimum voltage VOUT1-3_OLD_LTh, see
If the OUTx is not connected, a Low-side open load is indicated, because the low-side current
sink is higher than the high-side current source, see open load detection current ratio
I
Switching on an output stage with the OLD bit set to low disables the open-load function for
this output.
