14.2 Output current limiting

The peak output current is internally limited above a level of 3 A minimum. During normal

operation the output current should not exceed this threshold level of 3 A, otherwise the

output signal will be distorted. The peak output current in BTL can be estimated using

Equation 3:

Where:

VP = supply voltage (VDDPx VSSPx) [V].
(1) RL = 4
(2) RL = 6
(3) RL= 8
