If IB1[D2] = 1 the AC-load detection measurement cycle is enabled, the peak counter is
reset and the measuring cycle starts. The AC-load detection is only performed after the
amplifier has completed its start-up cycle. Since the AC-load information in the I2C-bus
bits is combined with the start-up diagnostics, the AC-load information can be read when
IB4[D4] = 1. If IB4[D4] = 0, the stored AC-load bits cannot be read, but their values are
preserved.
