PRODUCTION DATA
The output active-low circuit effectively keeps the gate outputs low even if the driver is not powered up. This prevents open-gate conditions on the external power FETs and accidental turn on when the main power-stage supply voltage is applied before the driver is powered up. For the simplicity, the output active low circuit is shown in a block diagram as the resistor connected between LGATE and GND pins with another one connected between UGATE and PHASE pins.
