Output Data Protocol
Bit Output (Status) Register Function
0 TP Temperature prewarning: high = warning (overtemperature shut down see remark below)
1Status LS1 Normal operation: high = output is on, low = output is off
Open-load detection: high = open load, low = no open load (correct load condition is detected
if the corresponding output is switched off)
2Status HS1 Normal operation: high = output is on, low = output is off
Open-load detection: high = open load, low = no open load (correct load condition is detected
if the corresponding output is switched off)
3Status LS2 Description see LS1
4Status HS2 Description see HS1
5Status LS3 Description see LS1
6Status HS3 Description see HS1

12 n.u. Not used
13 SCD Short circuit detected: set high, when at least one output is switched off by a short circuit
condition
14 INH Inhibit: this bit is controlled by software (bit SI in input register) and hardware inhibit
(Pin 17). High = standby, low = normal operation
15 PSF Power supply fail: over- or undervoltage at Pin VS detected
Remark: Bit 0 to 15 = high: overtemperature shutdown
Power Supply Fail
In case of over- or undervoltage at Pin VS, an internal
timer is started. When the over- or undervoltage delay
time (tdOV/tdUV) programmed by the SCT bit is reached,
the power supply fail bit (PSF) in the output register is set
and all outputs are disabled. When normal voltage is pres-
ent again the outputs are enabled immediately. The PSF
bit remains high until it is reset by the SRR bit in the input
register.
Open-Load Detection
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 IHS1–3, ILS1–3). If VVS–VHS1–3 or
VLS1–3 is lower than the open-load detection threshold
(open-load condition), the corresponding bit of the output
in the output register is set to high. Switching on an output
stage with OLD bit set to low disables the open-load
function for this output. If bit SI is set to low, the open-
load function is also switched off.
Overtemperature Protection
If the junction temperature exceeds the thermal
prewarning threshold, TjPW set, the temperature
prewarning bit (TP) in the output register is set. When the
temperature falls below the thermal prewarning
threshold, TjPW reset, the bit TP is reset. The TP bit can be
read without transferring a complete 16-bit data word:
with CS = high to low, the state of TP appears at Pin DO.
After the mC has read this information, CS is set high and
the data transfer is interrupted without affecting the state
of input and output registers.
If the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
threshold, Tj switch off, the outputs are disabled and all bits
in the output register are set high. The outputs can be
enabled again when the temperature falls below the
thermal shutdown threshold, Tj switch on, and when a high
has been written to the SRR bit in the input register.
