DRV8350H-EVM: Question about DRV8350H

Part Number: DRV8350H-EVM

Tool/software:

Hello:

The customer has discovered a DRV8350H and LM5012DDAR burnout accident, and measurements have revealed:
1. No failure was found in MOSFET;
2. CPH and CPL of DRV8350H are short circuited; Even after removing the capacitor, there was a short circuit
3. The output of the U-phase lower bridge GS of DRV8350H is short circuited, and the resistance at both ends of the V-phase upper bridge GS is about 100R;
4. The SW of LM5012DDAR is short circuited to GND.
The relevant schematic and PCB are as follows.

D6_V3_20240118_3.DSNZDL6_POWER V4 20240305_1758.brd 

Measure the gate switch waveform of MOSFET as shown in the following figure.


The customer has previously experienced MOS burnout and suspects that it was caused by the failure of the 8350 first. The failure analysis of the MOSFET suggests that the possibility of gate breakdown cannot be ruled out.
Could you please analyze the possible reasons, Thanks!!!

This case is urgent,Please provide timely feedback ASAP

  • Hey Jimmy,

    Who is the customer? Also would you be able to upload a pdf of the schematic. I am having some difficulty viewing the file.
    What is the Idrive setting being used by the customer and what is the MOSFET part number? 

    Is this the first board that was damaged if not how many? What was being tested when did got damaged? 

    Is this reproducible?

    Best,
    Akshay

  • Hi Akshay:

    1、 Idrive is 150mA/300mA, MOSFET model SFS08R024UGNF-F.
    2、 The situation described in the previous email was only one case, and there was another case where only DRV8350H failed. The failure scenario is normal use at the customer's site.
    3、 At present, it has not been successfully reproduced, with a low probability.

    The schematic is below, please help check and give your suggestion and advice ASAP, This project is urgent, Thanks!!!

  • Hello,

    Since this is only one case of this damage, I am thinking it is possible that there was some abnormal scenario like motor phase short or something similar that could damage the device in this way. 

    Another thing potentially that could damage would be transient spiking on the GHx, GLx, SHx, SLx pins that potentially could have damaged the device. Is there any time during customer normal operation where transient spikes are seen on these pins?

    Thank you,

    Joseph

  • Hello Joseph:

    Thank you for your feedback. I have already let local TI FAE to support this customer,Thanks!!!
