Soft Clipping
IRS2052M has Clipping detection function, it monitors error voltage in COMP pin with a window
comparator and pull an open drain nmos referenced to GND. Threshold to detect is at 10% and
90% of VAA-VSS. Each channel has independent CLIP outputs. Once IRS2052M detects
Clipping, the CLIP pin can generate pulses to trigger soft clipping circuit, which can limit output’s
maximum power as Fig 9(soft clipping circuit is not available on AMP10 reference board).
