Hi team,
Issue: the device(DRV8353S) is damaged after a phase-to-phase short of the driver. It's found damage to one phase lower bridge short detection circuit, and the nFAULT signal is reported to be low as long as current passes through the lower bridge.
What could cause damage to the circuit for short-circuit detection? Are some parameters of the short circuit detection circuit exceeded?
Could you help check this case? Thanks.
Best Regards,
Cherry
Hey Cherry,
I will consult the team and aim to provide feedback by Wednesday of next week.

Hey Cherry,
I would like to ask some preliminary questions to better understand the situation:
I can use this information when I discuss the issue with the team.
Best Regards,
Akshay
Akshay, thanks!
• What I drive setting are you using?
---see below photo.
• What dead time is being used?
---The dead time is 400ns
• What is the standard motor current and motor voltage?
---motor voltage 48V/20A
• What specific pin has failed?
---The lower bridge short circuit detection circuit with one phase is damaged, There's only current going through.
Some are three-phase current no output, VGL pin output voltage error, VCP pin output voltage error.
Hey Reed,
Thank you for the information. I will consult the team and aim to provide feedback by early next week.

Hey Reed,
In order to debug the issue, I would like to ask for the following information:
Answer to these questions would be helpful in debugging this issue.

Hi Akshay,
1. It's the voltage of the VGLS
2. There is no damage on VGLS and VCP surfaces
3,.the bootstrap voltage output voltage is not right, the feeling may be the bootstrap circuit is broken, it is possible that other circuits are broken, indirectly leading to the bootstrap circuit has a problem, at present can be clear: there is a phase of the bridge short circuit detection circuit damaged
4. There should be no short line between SPX and SHX, because they go to different layers
5. The picture is part of the schematic diagram and PCB diagram (our power circuit and DRV driver circuit are not on the same board, but two boards are stacked together and connected through the row needle)
Hey Reed,
Thank you for answering the questions. I will contact my team and aim to provide feedback by early next week.

Hey Reed,
DRV8353S does not work on a bootstrap architecture; it uses a charge pump.
What all faults are being shown on SPI?
Would you be able to measure the impedance to ground on the pins that have the issue?

Akshay
