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 #FIG_J5C_3FV_B5B). This pin provides a mechanism for externally monitored faults to disable gate driver by directly bypassing the internal control logic. When MCT8329A detect logic high on the DRVOFF pin, the device disables the gate driver and puts it into pull down mode (see #FIG_Q33_VFV_B5B). The gate driver shutdown sequence proceeds as shown in #FIG_Q33_VFV_B5B. 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.
DRVOFF pin pulling high does not cause the device to go to sleep or standby mode and the digital core is still active. The DRVOFF status is reported on DRV_OFF bit and has a latency of up to 100 ms between the pin status change to DRV_OFF bit status update. The controller may report motor fault when DRVOFF goes logic high during motor operation. When DRVOFF pulled from high to low, MCT8329A execute motor start sequence (with a latency up to 100 ms after pulling DRVOFF pin low) as described in GUID-5CED4BA3-1E8F-48D7-AB00-EA16A9E8D711.html.
