PRODUCTION DATA
When DRVOFF is driven high, the gate driver goes into shutdown. DRVOFF bypasses the digital control logic inside the device, and is connected directly to the gate driver output (see Figure 7-50). This pin provides a mechanism for externally monitored faults to disable gate driver by directly bypassing the internal control logic. When MCF8329A detect logic high on the DRVOFF pin, the device disables the gate driver and puts it into pull down mode (see Figure 7-51). The gate driver shutdown sequence proceeds as shown in Figure 7-51. When the gate driver initiates the shutdown sequence, the active driver pull down is applied at ISINK current for the tSD_SINK_DIG time, after which the gate driver moves to passive pull down mode.
