SLASFD8 May 2025 TAS5830
PRODUCTION DATA
If there is a severe short-circuit event, such as output short to PVDD or ground, the TAS5830 starts the shutdown process less than 100ns once the peak-current detector is over the Overcurrent Threshold (list in Section 5.5 ). The shutdown speed depends on several factors, such as the impedance of the short circuit, supply voltage, and switching frequency.
If an OCSD event occurs, the fault GPIO is pulled low and I2C fault register fault status ( CHAN_FAULT Register (Offset = 70h) [Reset = 00h] -D[1:0] ) is reported, then outputs transfer to high impedance Hi-Z status, signifying a fault. This is a latched error, and the user needs to restart output via I2C clear fault operation by setting FAULT_CLEAR Register (Offset = 78h) [Reset = 00h] -D[0] = 1.
