Protections

The MCF8315C is protected from a host of fault events including motor lock, VM undervoltage, AVDD undervoltage, buck undervoltage, charge pump undervoltage, overtemperature and overcurrent events. Table 6-5 summarizes the response, recovery modes, power stage status, reporting mechanism for different faults.

Note:
  1. Actionable faults (latched or retry) are always reported on nFAULT pin (as logic low).
  2. Actionable faults (latched or retry) are reported on ALARM pin (as logic high) when ALARM_PIN_EN is set to 1b.
  3. Report only faults are reported on nFAULT (as logic low) only when ALARM_PIN_EN is set to 0b. When ALARM_PIN_EN is set to 1b, report only faults are reported only on ALARM pin (as logic high) while nFAULT stays high (via pull-up).
  4. Priority order for multi-fault scenarios is latched > slower retry time fault > faster retry time fault > report only fault. For example, if a latched and retry fault happen simultaneously, the device stays latched in fault mode until user issues clear fault command by writing 1b to CLR_FLT. If two retry faults with different retry times happen simultaneously, the device retries only after the longer (slower) retry time lapses.
  5. Recovery refers only to state of FETs (Hi-Z or active) after the fault condition is removed. Automatic indicates that the device automatically recovers (and FETs are active) when retry time lapses after the fault condition is removed. Latched indicates that the device waits for clearing of fault condition (by writing 1b to CLR_FLT bit) to make the FETs active again.
  6. Actionable (latched or retry) faults can take up to 200-ms after fault response (FETs in Hi-Z) to be reported on nFAULT pin (as logic low), ALARM pin (as logic high) and fault status registers.
  7. Latched faults can take up to 200-ms after CLR_FLT command is issued (over I2C) to be cleared.
