If the power supply voltage on the PVDD pin
exceeds the VPVDD_OV threshold for longer than the tPVDD_OV_DG time,
the DRV8000-Q1 detects a PVDD overvoltage condition and action
is taken according to the PVDD_OV_MODE register setting. The overvoltage threshold and deglitch
time can be adjusted through the PVDD_OV_LVL and PVDD_OV_DG register settings.
The PVDD overvoltage monitor can respond and
recover in four different modes set through the PVDD_OV_MODE register setting.
- Latched Fault Mode: After
detecting the overvoltage condition, the gate driver pull downs are enabled and FAULT register bit, and PVDD_OV register bit are asserted. After the overvoltage
condition is removed, the fault state remains latched until CLR_FLT is issued.
- Automatic Recovery Mode: After
detecting the overvoltage condition, the gate driver pull downs are enabled and FAULT register bit, and PVDD_OV register bit asserted. After the overvoltage condition is
removed, the FAULT register bit is automatically cleared and the driver
automatically reenabled. The PVDD_OV register bit remains latched until CLR_FLT is issued.
- Warning Report Only Mode: The
PVDD overvoltage condition is reported in the WARN and PVDD_OV register bits. The device will not take any action. The
warning remains latched until CLR_FLT is issued.
- Disabled Mode: The PVDD
overvoltage monitor is disabled and will not respond or report.
