DRV8873-Q1: Slew rate control - is it active during active protection events?

Part Number: DRV8873-Q1

TI Experts,

Is DRV8873S-Q1 (SPI version) slew rate control active during active protection events like thermal shutdown with automatic recovery? 

This thermal thermal shutdown scenario is due to short circuit operation - both the current limitation and current regulation are turned off, only the thermal shutdown is present with automatic recovery.

It is not clear in device datasheet. 

  • Piotr,

    On hitting the thermal event, the device will HIZ, so slew rate control is not active here.  On start-up, return from thermal event, the output should ramp up with normal slew rate control active when FETs are re-enabled.

    Regards,
