7.13 Diagnostics
Diagnostic information can be read via the I
2
C-bus, and can also be available on the
DIAG pin or on the STB pin. The DIAG pin has both fixed information (power-on reset
occurred, low battery and high battery) and, via the I
2
C-bus, selectable information
(temperature, load fault and clip). This information will be seen at the DIAG pin as a logic
OR. In case of a failure, the DIAG pin remains LOW and the microprocessor can read the
failure information via the I
2
C-bus (the DIAG pin can be used as microprocessor interrupt
to minimize I
2
C-bus traffic). When the failure is removed, the DIAG pin will be released.
To have full control over the clipping information, the STB pin can be programmed as a
second clip detection pin. The clip detection level can be selected for all channels at once.
It is possible to select whether the clip information is available on the DIAG pin or on the
STB pin, for each channel separately. It is, for instance, possible to distinguish between
clipping of the front and the rear channels.
Diagnostic information selection possibilities are shown in Table 4
.

7.14 Offset detection
The offset detection can be performed with no input signal (for instance when the DSP is
in mute after a start-up) or with an input signal. In I
2
C-bus mode, if an I
2
C-bus read of the
output offset is performed, the I
2
C-bus latches DBx[D2] will be set. When the amplifier
BTL output voltage is within a window with threshold of 1.75 V typical, the latches DBx[D2]
are reset and setting is disabled. If, for instance, after one second an I
2
C-bus read is
performed again and the offset bits are still set, the output has not crossed the offset
threshold during the last second (see Figure 12
). This can mean the applied frequency is
below 1 Hz (one second I
2
C-bus read interval) or an output offset of more than 1.75 V is
present.
7.15 DC load detection
When the DC load detection is enabled with bit IB1[D1], an offset is slowly applied at the
output of the amplifiers during the start-up cycle and the load currents are measured.
Different load levels will be detected to differentiate between normal load, line driver load
or open load (see Figure 13
).

I
2
C-bus controlled 4 45 W power amplifier
If the amplifier is used as line driver and the external booster has an input impedance of
more than 100 and less than 800 (DC-coupled), the DC load bits will contain
DBx[D5:D4] = 10, independent of the gain setting (see Table 5
).
By reading the I
2
C-bus bits the microprocessor can determine, after the start-up of the
amplifier, whether a speaker or an external booster is connected.
Depending on these bits, the amplifier gain can be selected, 26 dB for normal mode or
16 dB for line driver mode. If the gain select is performed when the amplifier is muted, the
gain select will be pop free.
The DC load bits are combined with the AC load bits and are only valid when the AC load
detection is disabled. When the AC load detection is enabled (IB1[D2] = 1), the bits
DBx[D4] will show the content of the AC load detection. When the AC load detection is
disabled again, bit DBx[D4] will show the content of the DC load measurement, which was
stored during the AC load measurement. The AC load detection can only be performed
after the amplifier has completed its start-up cycle and will not conflict with the DC load
detection.
7.16 AC load detection
The AC load detection, enabled with IB1[D2] = 1, is used to detect if AC coupled
speakers, for example tweeters, are connected correctly during assembly. The detection
is audible because a sine wave of a certain frequency (e.g. 19 kHz) needs to be applied to
the inputs of the amplifier. The output voltage over the load impedance will generate an
amplifier current. If the amplifier peak current triggers a 460 mA (peak) threshold detector
three times, the AC load detection bit will be set. A three ‘threshold cross’ counter is used
to prevent false AC load detection when switching the input signal on or off.
An AC coupled speaker will reduce the impedance at the output of the amplifier in a
certain frequency band. The presence of an AC coupled speaker can be determined using
460 mA (peak) and 230 mA (peak) threshold current detection. For instance, at an output
voltage of 2 V (peak) the total impedance must be less than 4 to detect the AC coupled
load, or more than 8 to guarantee only a DC connection is detected.
