Hello experts,

In the datasheet of DRV8908-Q1, the layout example pulls nFAULT pin to low.

However, it is recommended to be pulled up in the datasheet.

Is this layout example incorrect?

Thanks,

Kento

Hi Kento,

This does appear to be a mistake. As you pointed out, nFAULT should be pulled up not pulled down. We will work on correcting this mistake in the datasheet.
