MAX13325/MAX13326
Table 12. Output Short to GND Diagnostic
Table 13. Overtemperature Diagnostic
Output Short to GND
When in diagnostic mode, the MAX13325/MAX13326
detect if any of the differential outputs is shorted to
ground. Upon detection of the short to ground, the
faulted channel is switched off and its output goes into a
high-impedance state. The fault is reported using the I2C
interface and the FLAG output. See Table 12.
Overtemperature
When in diagnostic mode, if the MAX13325/MAX13326
exceed the overtemperature warning or temperature shut-
down thresholds the device reports the condition using
the I2C interface and the FLAG output. See Table 13.

Left-Channel Output
Short to GND
FLAG is asserted low.
In LMASK register, set
MSGNDL bit to 1. See
Table 9.
Cleared on reading the LFAULT
register. See Table 5.
Note: 500ms autoretry in stand-
alone mode.
FLAG bit set. See Table 7.
SGNDL bit is set in the LFAULT
register. See Table 5.
Left channel switches off and output
goes to high-impedance state.
Cannot be masked.
Output is enabled by setting the
RETRYL bit to 1 in the Command
Byte register. See Table 3.
Right-Channel Output
Short to GND
FLAG is asserted low.
In RMASK register, set
MSGNDR bit to 1. See
Table 10.
Cleared on reading the RFAULT
register. See Table 6.
Note: 500ms autoretry in stand-
alone mode.
FLAG bit set. See Table 7.
SGNDR bit is set in the RFAULT
register. See Table 6.
Right channel switches off and
output goes to high-impedance
state.
Cannot be masked.
Output is enabled by setting the
RETRYR bit to 1 in the Command
Byte register. See Table 3.

TSHDN bit is set in the GFAULT
Register. See Table 4.
Left and right channels switch
off and output goes to high-
impedance state.
Cannot be masked.
Left channel is enabled by setting
the RETRYL bit to 1 in the Command
Byte register.
Right channel is enabled by
setting the RETRYR bit to 1 in the
Command Byte register.
