DRV8412: Fault pin low when load connected

Part Number: DRV8412

Hello,

I am using DRV8412 to drive a 12v/ 3A peltier. I have used the schematic provided by ti.

Both PVDD and GVDD are connected to same power supply 12v/25A.

PVDD- 12V

GVDD-12V

OC_ADJ Resistor = 47Kohm

M1=0, M2=1, M3=0 (Mode 3 PFB mode)

PWMA and PWMB freq=500KHz and 50% duty cycle

After power on following observation has been made:

1. without load connected:

VREG = 3.2V

OTW signal = 3.2V high

Fault signal = 0.2V low

output voltage diff = 0v

2. without load connected:

- Fault signal = high 3.2v

-OTW signal = high 3,2V

- OUT put voltage difference = 11v

From the datasheet it is clear that it is overcurrent shutdown. Why this is activated since i have used 25A SMPS this fault should not arise.

And why when connecting load output voltage is going down to 0v.
