DRV8873SEVM:

Part Number: DRV8873SEVM

Hi,

We are using DRV8873S SPI Version in our own designed board. 

We have connected the motor at H-Bridge OUT1 and OUT2 and simulating the OL condition in Passive mode, but we are getting the nFAULT pin status low (Multimeter reading=1V).

1. Why we are getting the nFAULT status low when the motor is connected?

2. We have followed the datasheet parameters for OL detection in passive mode.

3. The SPI registers values are: 

IC1_CONFIG_DATA               0x0080u

IC2_CONFIG_DATA               0x00ADu

IC3_CONFIG_DATA               0x0030u

IC4_CONFIG_DATA               0x0040u

Can you suggest the possible reason for nFAULT status low, even when there is motor connected at the output of the Driver?

Regards
