PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The GHx and GLx pins are monitored such that if the voltage on the external FET gate does not increase or decrease after the t(DRIVE) time, a gate driver fault is detected. This fault occurs if the GHx or GLx pins are shorted to the GND, SHx, or VM pin. Additionally, a gate-driver fault occurs if the selected IDRIVE setting is not sufficient to turn on the external FET. All FETs in the H-bridge are disabled, and the nFAULT pin is driven low. The GDF bit of the DRV8703-Q1 device is set. The driver re-enables after the OCP retry period (t(RETRY)) has passed. The nFAULT pin is released after the operation has resumed but the GDF bit on the DRV8703-Q1 device remains set until cleared by writing to the CLR_FLT bit.
