The default pin configurations for faults are shown in Table 2-12. Faults can be detected in hardware by the motor driver or MCU.
Typically, a motor driver drives an active-low open-drain fault pin (nFAULT) when there is a detected fault in the system. Examples are MOSFET overcurrent, gate drive, or power supply-related faults connections in the driver.
MSPM0 MCUs can detect fault inputs with dedicated hardware paths to provide low latency and response times as fast as 40ns. This is faster than using a conventional GPIO interrupt with software latency. The fault input paths can be configured for fault handling using TIMA fault handler, such as shutting off the PWMs during an overcurrent condition. Examples of TIMA inputs include an external fault pin (such as TIMA_FLT0) and low-side overcurrent using comparators (such as COMP0_IN0+).
MSPM0 Pin | Function | DRV Connection | DRV Function |
