7.3.7.3 VM Undervoltage Lockout (VM UVLO)

If at any time the voltage on the VM pin falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage:

  • All the outputs are disabled (High-Z)

  • The internal charge pump is disabled

  • nFAULT is driven low

Normal operation resumes when the VM voltage recovers above the UVLO rising threshold.

If the voltage on the VM pin falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage, but is above the VRST:

  • I2C communication is available and the digital core of the device is active

  • The FAULT and UVLO bits are made high

  • The nFAULT pin is driven low

From this condition, if the VM voltage recovers above the UVLO rising threshold voltage:

  • nFAULT pin is released (is pulled-up to the external voltage)

  • The FAULT bit is reset

  • The UVLO bit remains latched high until cleared through the CLR_FLT command.

When the voltage on the VM pin falls below the VRST:

  • I2C communication is unavailable and the digital core is shutdown

  • The FAULT and UVLO bits are low

  • The nFAULT pin is high

During a subsequent power-up, when the VM voltage exceeds the VRST voltage:

  • The digital core comes alive

  • UVLO bit stays low

  • The FAULT bit is made high

  • The nFAULT pin is pulled low

  • When the VM voltage exceeds the VM UVLO rising threshold

    • FAULT bit is reset

    • UVLO bit stays low

    • nFAULT pin is pulled high.
