8.3.3.5.1.1 Negative-current OLD

The DRV89XX-Q1 device also includes a negative-current OLD mode. The negative current can flow either through the body diode of high-side FET or the FET itself depending on whether or not the channel is configured for synchronous rectification. Figure 60 shows the current re-circulation through the body diode of the high-side FET when the synchronous rectification mode is OFF (i.e. HB2_FW = 0). In this case, the active OLD will not falsely report an open-load condition since the OLD circuit only enables when the FET is ON. Negative-current OLD will also work during re-circulation through the low-side FETs.

Figure 61 shows the negative current re-circulation through the high-side FET when synchronous rectification is ON (i.e. HB2_FW = 1). In this scenario, for default operation (OLD_NEG_EN = 0), the device can show a false open-load fault since the FET current is lower than the positive OLD threshold. However, when negative-current OLD mode is enabled, the device will only flag an open-load fault if IOUTX < IOLD_NEG. This mode is enabled by setting the OLD_NEG_EN bit in OLD_CTRL3 register.

Figure 62 shows the waveforms of false open-load detection when the negative-current OLD setting is disabled (OLD_NEG_EN = 0). As shown in this figure, the high-side FET of the OUT1 channel is always switched ON and the low-side and high-side FET of the OUT2 channel are operating in complimentary way (i.e. synchronous rectification mode is enabled). In synchronous rectification, the current flows in negative direction from OUT2 to VM (i.e. FET Source to Drain) during the high-side FET conduction. Initially, for the first PWM cycle, the OLD mode is disabled to show the currents in different FETs during the motor operation. When OLD is enabled in second PWM cycle, then the device registers a false open-load detect during the high-side FET conduction as shown in Figure 62. The nFAULT pin is pulled low and both high-side and low-side FET of OUT2 channels are disabled. The body diode of the high side FET (OUT2) conducts to complete the motor current path.

This false detection of open load is eliminated by enabling the negative-current OLD setting (OLD_NEG_EN = 1). As shown in Figure 63, the negative OLD current setting (IOLD_NEG) is enabled for the high-side FET of OUT2 channel. This setting allows the negative current path (from source to drain) in high-side FET. The nFAULT pin is latched high and OUT2 channel is not disabled when OLD is enabled in second PWM cycle.
