Short-circuit protection mode registers SHOK (address 0x58)
The following power bridge pins short-circuit protections are implemented in the
STA380BW:
OUTxx vs. GNDx
OUTxx vs. VCCx
OUT1B vs. OUT2A
The protection is enabled when reg. 0x50 bit 0 (SHEN) is set to ‘1’. The protection will check
the short-circuit when the EAPD bit is toggled from ‘0’ to ‘1’ (i.e. the power bridge is switched
on), and only if the test passes (no short), does the power bridge leave the tristate condition.
Register 0x58 (read-only registers) will give more information about the detected short type.
GNDSH equal to ‘0’ means that OUTxx is shorted to ground, while the same value on
VCCSH means that OUTxx is shorted to Vcc, finally OUTSH=’0’ means that OUT1B is
shorted to OUT2A.
To be noted that once the check is performed, and the tristate released, the short protection
is not active anymore until the next EAPD 0->1 toggling which means that shorts that
happened during normal operation cannot be detected.
To be noted that register SHOK is meaningful only after the EAPD bit is set to ‘1’ at least
once.
The short-circuit protections implemented are effective only in BTL configuration, and they
must not be activated if a single-ended application scheme is needed.
