7.3.22.4 FG Behavior During Fault

The FG behavior during faults (those reported on nFAULT pin) can be configured using FG_FAULT_CONFIG.

In addition to reporting fault status on FG, MCF8329HS-Q1 also provides the option of reporting the fault type on FG pin by encoding the fault type information as a unique duty cycle at 1Hz frequency as shown in Figure 7-46. Eight types of faults can be reported on FG pin - loss of phase (no motor), motor lock, over current (VDS, VSNS, lock current limits), PVDD over voltage, PVDD under voltage, over temperature, external MCU (watchdog and I2C CRC) and dry run.

MCF8329HS-Q1 Fault Indication over FG Figure 7-46 Fault Indication over FG

The duty cycle and priority (1 being the highest) associated with each fault type indicated on FG pin is as shown in Table 7-5,

Table 7-5 Duty cycle and Priority for Fault Indication on FG pin
Fault Type Duty Cycle Priority
Loss of phase 10 1
Over current 20 2
Motor lock 30 3
Dry run 90 4
External MCU 80 5
Over temperature 70 6
PVDD under voltage 40 7
PVDD over voltage 60 8

If FG_FAULT_CONFIG is set to,

  • 00b: FG pin pulled low on fault.
  • 01b: FG pin in Hi-Z (high with external pull up) on reported faults.
  • 10b: FG reports fault type as a unique duty cycle at 1Hz
  • 11b: FG active till BEMF drops below BEMF threshold defined by FG_BEMF_THR if FG_CONFIG is set to 1b
Note: Fault type reporting on FG pin is not be available in case of retry faults with retry time < 1s (FG signal time period for fault type reporting) or when a particular type of fault is configured in 'report only' mode.
