SLVSH53 December 2023 MCT8315Z
PRODUCTION DATA
Hardware variant uses three resistor-configurable inputs (in the place of SPI pins) which are ADVANCE, MODE and SLEW.
This variant allows the application designer to configure the critical device settings by tying each pin to logic high or logic low or leave it floating or pull-up to logic high or pull-down to logic low with a suitable resistor. This eliminates the requirement for an SPI bus from the external microcontroller to configure MCT8315Z. General fault information can still be obtained through the nFAULT pin. The voltage levels on the configurable pins (ADVANCE, SLEW and MODE) are detected only once during power-up and used for device configuration - any subsequent change in the voltage of these pins does not affect the device configuration till a subsequent power reset.
For more information on the hardware interface, see the Section 8.3.10 section.
