DRV8711: Pre-Driver Fault at short turning on FET

Part Number: DRV8711

Hi,

I red below post.
I had a question again.
Could you answer me below question?
e2e.ti.com/.../396386

Q :
Wilson said below in above post.
==============
If predriver is command the external FET to on, then after 2.2us, we will look the comparator output, if output is high, then no fault, otherwise flag a fault.
=============
How does PDF operate at turning on FET under 2.2us terms?


Best regards,
Shimizu

  • Hi Shimizu-san,

    PDF is not active under 2.2us.
    A 2.2us timer is started when the LS or HS is commanded to change. At 2.2us, the LS or HS output is monitored. If the LS or HS is not at the expected level, a PDF fault is asserted.

    Please note the 2.2us is a typical time. There can be some variation due to the internal clock.
