PRODUCTION DATA
If the output current exceeds the OCP threshold, IOCP, for longer than tOCP, the device enters fault mode and all FETs in the H-bridge are disabled. The device remains fault mode until it is reset by putting it into sleep mode with the INx pins or by removing the VM power supply.
Overcurrent conditions are detected independently on both high- and low-side FETs. This means that a short to ground, supply, or across the motor winding will all result in an overcurrent shutdown. The ISEN pin also integrates a separate overcurrent trip threshold specified by VOCP_ISEN for additional protection when the VM voltage is low or the RSENSE resistance on the ISEN pin is high.
