1. A cold lamp filament, or a capacitive load may activate the current limiting circuit of the IPS, when the IPS
is initially turned on.
3.2
Input section
The input section is a high impedance differential stage with high common and differential
mode range. Built-in offset of +1.4 V (typical value) and a hysteresis of 400 mV (maximum
value) assure high noise immunity.
3.3
Diagnostic logic
The operating conditions of the device are permanently monitored and the following
occurrences are indicated by DIAG1/DIAG2 open drain output pins:
• Short-circuit versus ground. A current limit circuit fixes Isc = 3.2 A (typical value) the
maximum current that can be sourced from the OUTPUT pin (for more details see
Section 3.4: Short-circuit operation)
• Short-circuit versus Vs
• Undervoltage (UV)
• Overtemperature (OVT)
• Open load, if the output current is less than 3 mA (typical value)
• Output DMOS open according to Table 7
