1.4.5 Short-Circuit Detection System

The short-circuit detection system on the board provides protection in case of a short-circuit event. When a short circuit is detected, the gate driver pulls the OUTL low with a fixed current soft turn-off, and the FLT flag raises on the primary side. If the short-circuit detection system is not used or if an IGBT/MOSFET is not connected to the board, short J1 and J2 to the respective HS and LS COM to prevent false short-circuit triggering.
