Bridge Control

The DRV824x-Q1 family of devices provides three separate modes to support different control schemes with the EN/IN1 and PH/IN2 pins. The control mode is selected through the MODE setting. MODE is a 3-level setting based on the MODE pin for the HW variant or S_MODE bits in the CONFIG3 register for the SPI variant as summarized in Table 8-3:

Table 8-3 Mode table
MODE pin S_MODE bits Device Mode Description
RLVL1OF3 2'b00 PH/EN mode full-bridge mode where EN/IN1 is the PWM input, PH/IN2 is the direction input
RLVL2OF3 2'b01 Independent mode Independent control for 2 half-bridges
RLVL3OF3 2'b10, 2b'11 PWM mode full-bridge mode where EN/IN1 and PH/IN2 control the PWM respectively depending on the direction

In the HW variant, MODE pin is latched during device initialization following power-up or wake-up from sleep. Update during operation is blocked.

In the SPI variant of the device, the mode setting can be changed anytime the SPI communication is available by writing to the S_MODE bits. This change is immediately reflected.

The inputs can accept static or pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage signals for either 100% or PWM drive modes. The device input pins can be powered before VM is applied. By default, the nSLEEP and DRVOFF pins have an internal pull-down and pull-up resistor respectively, to ensure the outputs are Hi-Z if no inputs are present. Both the EN/IN1 and PH/IN2 pins also have internal pull down resistors. The sections below show the truth table for each control mode.

The device automatically generates the optimal dead-time needed during transitioning between the high-side and low-side FET on the switching half-bridge. This timing is based on internal FET gate-source voltage feedback. No external timing is required. This scheme ensures minimum dead time, while guaranteeing no shoot-through current.
Note:
  1. The SPI variant also provides additional control through the SPI_IN register bits. Refer to - Register - Pin control.
  2. For the SPI (P) variant, ignore the nSLEEP column in the control table as there is no nSLEEP pin. Internally, nSLEEP = 1, always. The control table is valid when VDD > VDDPOR level.
Current sourcing out of device (VM → OUTx → Load)
If internal ITRIP regulation is enabled and ITRIP level is reached, then OUTx is forced "L" for a fixed time
