10.1.3 I/O Protection

RPROT is used to protect the microcontroller I/O pins during system-level voltage transients such as ISO pulses or reverse battery. The SNS pin voltage can exceed the ADC input pin maximum voltage if the fault or saturation current causes a high enough voltage drop across the sense resistor. If that can occur in the design (for example, by switching to a high value RSNS to improve ADC input level), then an appropriate external clamp has to be designed to prevent a high voltage at the SNS output and the ADC input.
