PRODUCTION DATA
The over current limit terminates each PWM pulse to limit the output current flow when the current limit (ILIMIT) is exceeded. Power is limited but operation continues without disruption and prevents undesired shutdown for transient music events.
If the current is limited for 45% of the PWM cycles in a 200ms window, ILIMIT_WARN is reported. If the current limit warning is triggered for 400ms, ILIMIT_FAULT is reported and the channel is set in Hi-Z.
Each channel is independently monitored and limited. There are two programmable levels that can be set by the miscellaneous control 1 register, 0x01 bit 4. The current limit values can be seen in Section 5.5.
