Fig 4. Mode select pin and Status I/O pin
Figure 5 shows the waveforms that appear at the diagnostic pin during different (fault)
conditions.
First, the diagnostic pin will be low when the amplifier is muted and no load was detected
during switching on.
When a load was detected during switching on, the diagnostic pin will stay high while the
device is muted.
During clipping, the diagnostic output will be low as long as the output signal is clipping,
so the width and frequency of the pulses at the diagnostic pin depend on the signal
frequency and how far the amplifier is driven into clipping.
When one of the outputs is shorted either to ground or to the supply, the diagnostic pin
will be permanently low.
Finally, when there is a short across the load (between the two outputs), the diagnostic
pin will go low for 20ms, and then up for 50
µ
s as long as the short circuit is present.
