8.3.3.5.3 Passive OLD

In passive OLD, the detection of open load is carried before the driver is turned on. The state of all FETs remains in Hi-Z state, while a minimal amount of current flows through motor for short amount of time to test the motor connection. The diagnostic current is very small to avoid causing the motor rotation.

Figure 66, Figure 67, and Figure 68 show the circuit implementations of passive OLD. As shown in these figures, a constant current source pulls the OUT1 pin to the AVDD (internal fixed voltage) which allows current flow from OUT1 to OUT2 terminal. The current drawn is completely dependent on the motor resistance between OUT1 and OUT2 and limited by the internal current sourcing (IOL_PU) and sinking (IOL_PD) capability of the passive OLD circuitry. Depending on this current and the comparator threshold voltage (VOL_HS and VOL_LS), the comparator output OL1_HS and OL2_LS are either set or reset which determines the open-load status. When an open load is detected, the OLD bit in the IC status (IC_STAT) register is set, the HBX_LS_OLD bit in the open-load status register (OLD_STAT_X) is set and nFAULT pin is driven low. The OLD bit remains set until cleared through the CLR_FLT bit. This implementation is applicable for half-bridge driving as shown in Figure 67, and Figure 68.

NOTE

Passive OLD sequence is not disabled by the HBX_OLD_DIS bits.

Following are the steps to configure and detect the passive OLD in the DRV89XX-Q1 device.

  1. Enable the passive OLD mode for the individual half-bridges which is to be diagnosed using the Half-bridge passive OLD enable bits (HBX_POLD_EN) in OLD_CTRL_5 register.
  2. Configure the half-bridge operation control bits (HBX_HS_EN/HBX_LS_EN) in operation control register (OP_CTRL_X) to determine the high-side and low-side OLD check. Note that these bits are now used for the passive OLD configuration. If anytime, the HBX_POLD_EN is reset then the bridge starts operating.
  3. Enable the passive OLD using the Passive OLD Enable bit (POLD_EN) in CONFIG_CTRL register. Setting the POLD_EN bit enables the passive OLD detection circuit on all OUTx pin for which the corresponding HBX_HS_EN or HBX_LS_EN are set to 1.
  4. Wait for the passive OLD time as determined by the user.
  5. After the completion of passive OLD time, disable the passive OLD enable bit (POLD_EN).
  6. Monitor the nFAULT pin / OLD bit in Status register (IC_STAT) and the HBX_HS_OLD/HBX_LS_OLD bit in the OLD status registers (OLD_STAT_X) for any open-load detection.
  7. Restart the sequence for other half-bridges / full-bridges.

During normal driving, HBX_HS_EN and HBX_LS_EN bits control the state of OUTX. However, when POLD_EN and HBX_POLD_EN are 1, the OUTX channel is disabled, and HBX_HS_EN and HBX_LS_EN control SWX_HS and SWX_LS used for passive OLD (see schematic representation in Figure 66). Table 9 shows the truth table for this operation.

Table 9. Truth Table for Passive OLD

HBX_POLD_EN HBX_HS_EN HBX_LS_EN OUTX SWX_HS SWX_LS OPEN LOAD SEQUENCE
0 X X Follows HBX_HS_EN and HBX_LS_EN Open Open Passive OLD for the channel is disabled and HBX_HS_EN/HBX_LS_EN set output OUTx state
1 0 0 Z Open Open Off state - no passive OLD
1 0 1 Z Open Closed Valid passive OLD for VM-connected load
1 1 0 Z Closed Open Valid passive OLD for GND-connected load
1 1 1 Z Open Open Invalid state

NOTE

The OLD_REP bit works in a similar way as for the active OLD. The OLD_OP bit is not applicable for passive OLD operation since the outputs are already disabled.

NOTE

Passive OLD sequence is not enabled if any other fault (other than OCP/OLD) is present.

Table 10 shows an example for configuring passive OLD for various loads. The HBX_VM_POLD bits can be enabled for any loads that connect directly to VM. In cases where VM is low, the passive OLD current may need to be larger so passive OLD does not falsely indicate an open load. Setting HBX_VM_POLD = 1 chooses a smaller ROL so more current flows and the device can properly detect an open load.
