Please help me with the analysis of the following circuit. The main purpose of the IC BTS840S2 is to detect Open circuit, Short to ground and Short to 24V supply. The output is a load such as lamp driven by this IC and also detects error condition. The input to the IC is the switch status. There are two conditions with respect to the input it can be either ON or OFF and two conditions with respect to Load it can also be either ON or OFF. Now my main doubts are with respect to the IC.
1. Open load condition: I could understand that the voltage of 24v is divided between 68k and 10k when there is no load hence high resistance and hence the voltage appears at the pin 1 Analog input to micro. But whether this condition is true irrespective of whether switch input is ON or OFF.
2. when the output pin is shorted to ground. How to calculate the feedback current coming out of pin no 5. whether it is also same irrespective of input switch status? Similarly for short to battery?
3. I have real confusion with the feedback current IS how to calculate? The data sheet talks about the parameter kILIS. What is it? What value i have to consider?
4. The real confusion is with the truth table given in the data sheet. i do not understand anything about it.
Please help me or guide me to get the answers. i am not able to understand the data sheet. Thanks in advance.
