The OLD monitoring when there is a load to the H-bridge will depend on the load resistance (R_L). The load's current (I_L) for a load connected between OUT1 and OUT2 is calculated as,

This OLD example will trigger an OLD event. The voltages at the positive terminal of OL1_HS (V_{OL_HS}(+)) and the negative terminal of OL2_LS (V_{OL_HS}) will be as follows:

High-side comparator of OUT1's half-bridge (OL1_HS)

If V_{OL_HS}(+) is greater than V_{OL_HS} (2.3 V), the output of OL1_HS is set to "1". The voltage comparison between V_{OL_HS}(+) and V_{OL_HS} required for the output of OL1_HS to be set to "1" is determined as:

Putting Equation 7 into Equation 8,

Solving Equation 9 for the load resistance (R_L), R_L is expressed as,

By using the values of V_AVDD and V_{OL_HS} in Equation 10, the load resistance (R_L) is calculated as (-)473.7 Ω. Since the value of the resistance is negative, V_{OL_HS}(+) is greater than V_{OL_HS} (2.3 V) and the output of OL1_HS is is set to "1".

Low side comparator of OUT2's half-bridge (OL2_LS)

If the voltage at negative terminal of OL2_LS (V_{OL_LS}(-)) is less than V_{OL_LS} (1.2 V), then the output of OL2_LS is set to "1". Hence, the voltage comparison between V_{OL_LS}(-) and V_{OL_LS} required for the output of OL2_LS to be set to "1" is calculated as:

Putting Equation 7 to Equation 11,

Solving Equation 12 for R_L, R_L is expressed as,

Using the values of V_AVDD and V_{OL_LS} in Equation 13, R_L has to be greater than 25.5 kΩ for OL2_LS to be set to "1". Since the output of OL1_HS is always set to "1", the OLD status is solely dependent on the output of OL2_LS. If the R_L is less than 25.5 kΩ, then an OLD flag will not occur.
