JAJSUL1A May 2024 – July 2024 DRV8161 , DRV8162
ADVANCE INFORMATION
In the DRV816x, if the device is configured to 2-pin PWM mode, high- and low-side inputs operate independently, with an exception to prevent cross conduction when the high and low side of the same half-bridge are turned ON at same time. The device turns OFF high- and low- side output to prevent shoot through when high- and low-side inputs are logic high at same time.
The DRV816x also provide dead time insertion to prevent both external MOSFETs of each half-bridge from switching on at the same time. The deadtime can be enabled and adjusted between 20 ns and 400 ns by connecting resistor between DT/MODE and ground. Refer to Section 7.3.2.6.
