6.11.1

Thermal and overcurrent warning output limit register

The STA333W provides a simple mechanism for reacting to a thermal or overcurrent

warning in the power device. When the TWARN or OCWARN status bit is asserted, the

output is limited to the OLIM setting. The limit can be adjusted by modifying the thermal

warning/overcurrent output limit value. As for the normal postscale, the register value

represents an 8-bit signed fractional number. This number is extended to a 24-bit number,

by adding zeros to the right, and then directly multiplied by the data on both channels. The

scaling value range is from 0x80 = -1 to 0x7F = 0.992. To avoid phase changes in the output

signal only the positive range is used (0x00 to 0x7F). The default setting of 0x5A provides a

-3-dB limit.

If the cause of the limiting is a thermal warning, the output limiting is removed when the

thermal warning situation disappears. If the cause of the limiting is an overcurrent warning,

output limiting remains in effect until the device is reset.
