FAULT DETECTION AND RECOVERY

Three fault conditions are detected by the SSM2518 fault

detection system: left channel overcurrent, right channel

overcurrent, and overtemperature. When any of these is

detected, the amplifier shuts down and a read-only I2C bit is set

to indicate the cause of the shutdown. The OC_L, OC_R, and

OT fault indicators are Bit 7, Bit 6, and Bit 5 (respectively) of

An autorecovery feature can be enabled for temperature faults,

current faults, or both, depending on the state of ARCV (Bit 1

and Bit 0 of Register 0x08).

If autorecovery is enabled, the amplifier waits a short time

(10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, or 80 ms) and attempts to recover. The

recovery delay is set by AR_TIME (Bit 7 and Bit 6 of Register 0x09).

The maximum number of consecutive recovery attempts can be

set to one, three, seven, or unlimited attempts; this number is

set by MAX_AR (Bit 3 and Bit 2 of Register 0x08).

If the autorecovery feature is disabled or the maximum number

of attempts has been reached, the amplifier remains shut down

until a software reset or manual fault recovery attempt occurs.

The manual fault recovery is triggered by setting the write-only

bit, MRCV (Bit 4 of Register 0x08).
