AUIR3330S
Open load detection function:
The bootstrap regulator bias provides a current on device
output. If the impedance between the Output and ground is
too high, after the turn off of the output mosfet, the output
never reaches the ground. So it becomes possible to detect
easily an open load condition when the device switches. In
fully on condition the open load condition will detect by the
current feedback (easy thanks to a high current condition).
