Overcurrent Protection (OCP)

Analog current-limit circuit on each MOSFET limits the current through that MOSFET by removing the gate drive. If this current limit persists for longer than the tOCP time, an overcurrent fault is detected.

  • Only the half-bridge experiencing the overcurrent will be disabled

  • nFAULT is driven low

  • Charge pump remains active

Overcurrent conditions on both high and low side MOSFETs; meaning a short to ground or short to supply will result in an overcurrent fault detection.

Once the overcurrent condition is removed, the recovery mechanism depends on the OCPM pin setting. OCPM pin programs either latch-off or automatic retry type recovery.
  • When the OCPM pin is logic low, the device has latch-off type recovery - which means once the OCP condition is removed, normal operation resumes after applying an nSLEEP reset pulse or a power cycling.

  • When the OCPM pin is logic high, normal operation resumes automatically (driver operation and nFAULT released) after the tRETRY time has elapsed and the fault condition is removed.
