6.3.4.4 GVDD Undervoltage Lockout (GVDD_UV)

If at any time the voltage on the GVDD pin falls lower than the VGVDD_UV threshold voltage for longer than the tGVDD_UV_DG time, the device detects a GVDD undervoltage event. After detecting the GVDD_UV undervoltage event, the gate driver is disabled, VCP charge pump is disabled and nFAULT pin is driven low if the GVDD_UV_MODE bit is 1b. After GVDD_UV condition is cleared, the fault state remains latched and can be cleared through an SPI command.
