Off-State Diagnostics (OLP)

The user can determine the impedance on the OUTx node using off-state diagnostics in the STANDBY state when the power FETs are off. With this diagnostics, it is possible to detect the following fault conditions passively in the STANDBY state:

  • Output short to VM or GND < 100 Ω
  • Open load > 1K Ω for full-bridge load or low-side load
  • Open load > 10K Ω for high-side load, VM = 13.5 V

Note: It is NOT possible to detect a load short with this diagnostic. However, the user can deduce this logically if an over current fault (OCP) occurs during ACTIVE operation, but OLP diagnostics do not report any fault in the STANDBY state. Occurrence of both OCP in the ACTIVE state and OLP in the STANDBY state would imply a terminal short (short on OUT node).

  • The user can configure the following combinations
    • Internal pull up resistor (ROLP_PU) on OUTx
    • Internal pull down resistor (ROLP_PD) on OUTx
    • Comparator reference level
    • Comparator input selection (OUT1 or OUT2)
  • This combination is determined by the controller inputs (pins only for the HW variant) or equivalent bits in the SPI_IN register for the SPI variant if the SPI_IN register has been unlocked.
  • HW variant - When off-state diagnostics are enabled, comparator output (OLP_CMP) is available on nFAULT pin.
  • SPI variant - The off-state diagnostics comparator output (OLP_CMP) is available on OLP_CMP bit in STATUS2 register. Additionally, if the SPI_IN register has been locked, this comparator output is also available on the nFAULT pin when off-state diagnostics are enabled.
  • The user is expected to toggle through all the combinations and record the comparator output after its output is settled.
  • Based on the input combinations and comparator output, the user can determine if there is a fault on the output.

The OLP combinations and truth table for a no fault scenario vs. fault scenario for a full-bridge load in PH/EN or PWM modes is shown in Table 8-15.
