6.3.7.1.2 Timer Based Warnings

The device measures the following ramp times and issues warning for min/max time violation:

  • Ramp up time to peak current (flag CHx_PRT_W)

  • Ramp down time from peak to hold current (flag CHx_HRT_W)

  • QTO (Clamping) time (flag CHx_QTOT_W)

The conditions for the time violation are described in Section 7.1.3 and Section 7.1.4 sections.

Note:

The measured times are also recorded in the measurement registers. Average duty cycle measurement is also provided. Refer Measurement registers for details.
