PRODUCTION DATA.
The DRV8305-Q1 is designed to support an external reverse supply protection scheme. The VCPH high-side charge pump is able to supply an external load up to 10 mA. This feature allows implementation of an external reverse battery protection scheme using a MOSFET and a BJT. The MOSFET gate and BJT can be driven through VCPH with a current limiting resistor. The current limiting resistor must be sized not to exceed the maximum external load on VCPH.
The VDRAIN sense pin may also be protected against reverse supply conditions by use of a current limiting resistor. The current limit resistor must be sized not to exceed the maximum current load on the VDRAIN pin. 100 Ω is recommended between VDRAIN and the drain of the external high-side MOSFET.
