The Channel Settings tab includes most of the per channel functions for this device. Use the Channel selector drop-down box at the top of the tab to use controls for a specific channel.

The Operational box includes the primary means of enabling the gate of each channel from the SWEN register. This includes indicators that turn green when the FET is successfully turned on. One indicator is for the MAIN FET and one indicator is for the Bypass FET.

The Open Load, Overvoltage, and Undervoltage box includes settings for tests and temperatures sensing. The values include enabling and duration settings.

The Capacitive Charging / PWM box includes settings for different capacitive charging methods and all PWM settings for each capacitive charging methods.

The Overcurrent Protection / Short Circuit Protection box includes settings related to current sensing including forward and reverse-current threshold, and output current sense monitoring.

The I2T Parameters box includes settings for enabling I2T and setting thresholds and shutoff times. Use this box in conjunction with the I2T Tuner tab functions. The Copy from I2T Tuner button copies existing values from the Tuning Parameters sections into the respective fields in the Channel Settings tab.
