PRODUCTION DATA
The device is fully protected from cross conduction of MOSFETs. The high-side and low-side MOSFETs are operated to avoid any shoot through currents by inserting a dead time (tDEAD). This is implemented by sensing the gate-source voltage (VGS) of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs and ensured that VGS of high-side MOSFET has reached below turn-off levels before switching on the low-side MOSFET of same half-bridge as shown in Figure 8-20 and Figure 8-21. The VGS of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs (VGS_HS and VGS_LS) shown in Figure 8-21 are DRV8311 internal signals.
