Hi team,

How to understand the "semi-active pull down" and the corresponding resisteance? Is it different from passive pull down?

Hi,

Thank you for your question,

Semi-active pull down is used after some fault event mostly. Gate drive block is not normal/active, but trying to keep OFF external FETs.
