7.5.1 Start-up diagnostics with DC load detection
If the start-up diagnostics are enabled, the load condition of all four channels is
determined. At the end of the start-up diagnostics cycle, not only the load condition is
known (shorted load, normal load or open load), but also if a separate amplifier is
connected or if the outputs are shorted to battery or ground. If a separate amplifier
(booster) is detected, the amplifier can start-up in line driver mode (low gain setting).
The load diagnostic is insensitive to door-slam (slowly moving speaker due to slamming of
the car door) and to external interference such as crosstalk of relays switching in the
The load detection values are shown in
Figure 9.
If only 4
speakers are connected, the low gain mode can be selected during the start-up
diagnostics. A shorted load is indicated until an impedance of 1.5
is reached. Even ‘soft’
shorts in the wiring harness will be detected.
Overvoltage protection (20 V)
yes
Over voltage pre-warning (16 V) can be enabled if IB4[D3] = 1

no
