DRV8320: Any issue of using only L side (GLx)?

Part Number: DRV8320

Hi team,

My customer would like to know if is there going to be any issue if you use only the L side of DRV8320 - GLx, especially if is it going to trigger nFault?

If there is a setting that will trigger nFault in the above condition, please let me know.

Thanks,

Luke

  • Hi Luke,

    Thank you for posting to the Motor Drivers forum!

    There should not be any issues with only toggling the low-side, GLx, just make sure that it is never the case that GLx=H when GHx=H.

    If an nFault were to be triggered in this case, a possibility could be some kind of 'shoot-trough fault protection' with 'dead time insertion'.

    Best,
