ADVANCE INFORMATION
When a half-bridge is active, an analog current protection circuit on each MOSFET shuts off the MOSFET during hard short circuit events. If the output current exceeds the over current threshold IOCP_OUTX for longer than tDG_OCP_HB, an over current fault is detected. The corresponding output is Hi-Z (latch behavior) and the fault is latched in register (HB_STAT1).
For over-current deglitch time tDG_OCP_HB of half-bridge drivers, there are four over-current deglitch options summarized in the table below.
Deglitch time | OUTX_OCP_DG | Voltage Limitation |
---|---|---|
6 μs | 00b | Forced option if VPVDD > 28 V |
10 μs | 01b | < 28 V |
20 μs | 10b | < 28 V |
60 μs | 11b | < 20 V |
To re-activate the driver, the fault must first be cleared in register by the MCU by reading the status register. The diagram below shows the over current behavior of a half-bridge:
