DRV8718-Q1: unused driver

Part Number: DRV8718-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi team,

When using the DRV8718-Q1, if some MOS are not used for some low-end Car models (not fitted with the Mos chip), the DRV8718-Q1 will report a VDS overcurrent fault.

How to disable the relevant faults by modifying the software? Modifying VDS_mode causes OC to be disabled for all 1-4 half bridges.

Regards,

Ivy

  • Hi Ivy,

    Thank you for your questions.

    If MOSFET are not assembled on some channels, best way is not driving on these channels. Then fault monitoring functions are disabled.

    Please use HBx_CTRL to set 00b as HiZ (Both HS and LS are OFF).

    You are posting on public E2E. Please post to internal if you have further details.

    regards

    Shinya
