DRV8243-Q1: Diagnostics questions

Part Number: DRV8243-Q1

Dear team,

Could you please help answer below questions? Thanks!

1. For below box marked in blue, nFault=L at normal mode and GND short condition, nFault=H at open fault condition and VM short condition. How to distinguish them? I don't see any register show OLP diagnostics status.

2. Below table only indicates the diagnostic status of active mode, right?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Sherry

  • Hey Sherry,

    1. For below box marked in blue, nFault=L at normal mode and GND short condition, nFault=H at open fault condition and VM short condition. How to distinguish them? I don't see any register show OLP diagnostics status.

    The difference is whether the user set up ROLP as a pull up or pull-down.  Based on this setup you can know whether your result is indicating short or open.  

    2. Below table only indicates the diagnostic status of active mode, right?

    Yes, that register reports the status of those conditions

    Regards,
