PRODUCTION DATA
The driver is protected against over-current and over-temperature events to ensure device robustness. Additionally, the device also offers load monitoring (on-state and off-state), over/ under voltage monitoring on VM pin to signal any unexpected voltage conditions. Fault signaling is done through a low-side open drain nFAULT pin which gets pulled to GND by InFAULT_PD current on detection of a fault condition. Transition to SLEEP state automatically de-asserts nFAULT.
For the SPI variant, whenever nFAULT is asserted low, the device logs the fault into the FAULT SUMMARY and STATUS registers. These registers can be cleared only by
