https://community.nxp.com/t5/High-Performance-Analog-Front/Short-circuit-protection-for-PCA9615/m-p/2147889#M133 <P>I am considering using the #PCA9615 in an environment where the DSDAM, DSDAP, DSCLP, and DSCLM pins could be shorted, either to each other, to VDDB, or to GND, in a controlled, recoverable, fault condition. Given the fact that this chip is designed to drive low impedance loads, I am wondering if these pins include short circuit protection?&nbsp; Would use of the EN input for Hot Swap when anticipating the fault help the chip to survive this situation? Thanks for your help</P><P>Best regards, Patrick</P> Thu, 07 Aug 2025 00:04:17 GMT JPM6 2025-08-07T00:04:17Z https://community.nxp.com/t5/High-Performance-Analog-Front/Short-circuit-protection-for-PCA9615/m-p/2147889#M133 <P>I am considering using the #PCA9615 in an environment where the DSDAM, DSDAP, DSCLP, and DSCLM pins could be shorted, either to each other, to VDDB, or to GND, in a controlled, recoverable, fault condition.
