PRODUCTION DATA
The heater MOSFET driver control mode is configured with HEAT_CNFG bits in register HS_HEAT_OUT_CNFG. The heater configuration bits enable or disable control of the heater output, and configures the control source. For the heater driver, the control sources are SPI register control and PWM pin control.
When in SPI register control mode (HEAT_CNFG = 01b), the heater MOSFET gate drive is enabled and disabled by setting bit HEAT_EN in the register HS_EC_HEAT_CTRL.
When in PWM control mode (HEAT_CNFG = 10b), the gate driver is controlled with an external PWM signal on pin PWM1. If the heater driver is in PWM control mode, then HEAT_EN is ignored.
The table below summarizes the heater driver configuration and control options:
| HEAT_CNFG bits | Configuration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 00b | Disabled | Heater control disabled |
| 01b | SPI register control | Heater SPI control enabled |
| 10b | PWM1 control | Heater control by PWM1 pin |
| 11b | Reserved | Reserved |
