Diagnostic output (pin DIAG)
D YNAMIC D ISTORTION D ETECTOR (DDD)
At the onset of clipping of the output stages, the DDD
becomes active. This information can be used to drive a
sound processor or DC-volume control to attenuate the
input signal and so limit the distortion.
S HORT - CIRCUIT PROTECTION
When a short-circuit occurs at the outputs to ground or to
the supply voltage, the output stages are switched off.
They will be switched on again approximately 20 ms after
removing the short-circuit. During this short-circuit
condition the diagnostic output is continuously LOW.
When a short-circuit occurs across the load, the output
stages are switched off during approximately 20 ms. After
that time is checked during approximately 50
µ
s whether
the short-circuit is still present. During this short-circuit
condition the diagnostic output is LOW for 20 ms and
HIGH for 50
µ
s. The power dissipation in any short-circuit
condition is very low.
T EMPERATURE DETECTION
Just before the temperature protection becomes active the
diagnostic output becomes continuously LOW.
L OAD DETECTION
Directly after the circuit is switched from standby to mute
or on, a built-in detection circuit checks whether a load is
present. The results of this check can be detected at the
diagnostic output, by switching the mode select input in the
mute mode.
Since the diagnostic output is an open-collector output,
more devices can be connected.
