SLVSH22A May 2024 – September 2025 DRV8000-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The DRV8000-Q1 provides dedicated H-bridge gate driver disable function with the DRVOFF pin. The DRVOFF pin provides a direct hardware pin to shutdown the gate driver without relying on an SPI command or PWM input change. When DRVOFF is asserted, both gate driver half-bridges are Hi-Z by enabling the gate driver pulldowns regardless of the other pin or SPI inputs. The integrated drivers and charge pump are independent from the DRVOFF pin.
The DRVOFF pin has a latched status bit DRVOFF_STAT in register GD_STAT that is continuously updated to reflect the status of the DRVOFF pin. This can be used to confirm that DRVOFF pin is either asserted or deasserted.
While DRVOFF is asserted, SPI communication and logic inputs are still available as long as DVDD is present.
