If the channel is switched on by IN pin, the fault condition is no longer detected.

When inductive load is driven, some ringing of the output voltage may be observed at the

end of the demagnetization. In fact, the load is completely demagnetized when ILOAD = 0 A

and the OUT pin remains floating until next turn-on. In order to avoid a fake signalization of

the open load event driving inductive loads, the open load signal is masked for tBKT. So, the

open load is reported on the DIAG pin with a delay of tBKT and if the open load event is

triggered for more than tBKT.

VCC disconnection protection

The IC is protected despite the VCC disconnection event. This event is intended as the

disconnection of the VCC wire from the application board, see figure below. When this

condition happens, the IC continues working normally until the voltage on the VCC

pin is ≥

VUV(OFF). Once the VUVOFF is triggered, the output channel is turned off independently on the

input status. In case of inductive load, if the VCC is disconnected while the output channel is

still active, the IC allows the discharge of the energy still stored in the inductor through the

integrated power switch.
