PRODUCTION DATA.
In independent PWM mode, the corresponding input pin independently controls each high-side and low-side gate driver. This control mode lets the DRV832x family of devices drive separate high-side and low-side loads with each half-bridge. These types of loads include unidirectional brushed DC motors, solenoids, and low-side and high-side switches. In this mode, if the system is configured in a half-bridge configuration, turning on both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs at the same time causes shoot-through.

Because the high-side and low-side VDS overcurrent monitors share the SHx sense line, using the monitors when both the high-side and low-side gate drivers of one half-bridge are split and being used is not possible. In this case, connect the SHx pin to the high-side driver and disable the VDS overcurrent monitors as shown in Figure 20.
If the half-bridge is used to implement only a high-side or low-side driver, using the VDS overcurrent monitors is still possible. Connect the SHx pin as shown in Figure 21 or Figure 22. The unused gate driver and the corresponding input can stay disconnected.
