Load Diagnosis
8.1
Open Load
An open load diagnosis feature is integrated in the TLD1313EL driver IC. If there is an open load on one of the
outputs, the outputs are turned off. The potential on the IN_SET pin rises up to V_{IN_SET(OL/SC)}, if the ST is connected
to GND. This high voltage can be used as input signal for an µC as shown in Figure 9. If the ST pin is open or
connected to GND via a high ohmic resistor, the ST pin rises to a high potential as described in Chapter 7. More
details are shown in Figure 18. The open load status is not latched, as soon as the open load condition is no longer
present, the output stage will be turned on again. An open load condition is detected, if the voltage drop over the
output stage V_PS is below the threshold according Pos. 8.4.10 and a filter time of t_OL is passed.
