7.3.8.6 VCP Charge Pump Undervoltage Lockout (VCP_UV)

If at any time the voltage on the VCP pin falls below the VVCP_UV threshold for longer than the tVCP_UV_DG time, the DRV8706-Q1 detects a VCP undervoltage condition. After detecting the undervoltage condition, the gate driver pull downs are enabled and nFAULT pin, FAULT register bit, and VCP_UV register bit asserted. The undervoltage threshold can be adjusted through the VCP_UV_LVL register setting.

On SPI device variants, the VCP undervoltage monitor can recover in two different modes set through the VCP_UV_MODE register setting.

  • Latched Fault Mode: Additionally the charge pump is disabled in latched fault mode. After the undervoltage condition is removed, the fault state remains latched and charge pump disabled until CLR_FLT is issued.
  • Automatic Recovery Mode: After the undervoltage condition is removed, the nFAULT pin and FAULT register bit are automatically cleared and the driver automatically reenabled. The VCP_UV register bit remains latched until CLR_FLT is issued.

On H/W device variants, the VCP undervoltage monitor is fixed to automatic recovery mode and the threshold to 2-V.
