When configured for inverting operation, the ISO5851 can be configured to shutdown automatically in the event of a fault condition by tying the FLT output to IN+. For high reliability drives, the open drain FLT outputs of multiple ISO5851 devices can be wired together forming a single, common fault bus for interfacing directly to the micro-controller. When any of the six gate drivers of a three-phase inverter detects a fault, the active low FLT output disables all six gate drivers simultaneously.
