9.3.1 Powering Up

The DRV841x2 does not require a power-up sequence. The outputs of the H-bridges remain in a high impedance state until the gate-drive supply voltage GVDD_X and VDD voltage are above the undervoltage protection (UVP) voltage threshold (see the Electrical Characteristics section of this data sheet). Although not specifically required, holding RESET_AB and RESET_CD in a low state while powering up the device is recommended. This allows an internal circuit to charge the external bootstrap capacitors by enabling a weak pulldown of the half-bridge output.
