In the DRV8000-Q1,
there are two VPVDD_OV thresholds, a low and high threshold. The overvoltage
response options are dependent on the driver outputs configured (High-side, EC, Heater
driver,
Gate driver, Half-bridge drivers). There are two fault status bits available
PVDD_OV_22V and PVDD_OV_28V in IC_STAT1.
The PVDD overvoltage monitor can respond and
recover in two different modes set through the PVDD_OV_MODE register setting.
- Latched Fault Mode (0b): After
detecting the overvoltage condition, all drivers are disabled and FAULT register bit, and PVDD_OV_22V or
PVDD_OV_28V register bit are asserted. After the overvoltage condition is removed, the
fault state remains latched until CLR_FLT is issued.
- Automatic Recovery Mode (1b):
After detecting the overvoltage condition, all drivers are disabled and FAULT register bit, and PVDD_OV_22V or
PVDD_OV_28V register bit asserted. After the overvoltage condition is removed, the FAULT register bit is automatically cleared and
the driver automatically reenabled. The PVDD_OV_22V or PVDD_OV_28V register bit remains
latched until CLR_FLT is issued.
High-side, EC and heater
drivers overvoltage fault (PVDD_OV_22V):
- High-side, EC and
heater drivers shutoff when VPVDD > low VPVDD threshold
voltage (22V).
- PVDD_OV_22V fault status is defined in
High-side,
EC and heater drivers PVDD Overvoltage Behavior table.
- No PVDD_OV_LVL setting available for High-side, EC and
heater drivers outputs
- PVDD_OV_MODE can be set to fault response Latched
Fault or Automatic Recovery modes.

Half-bridges and gate
driver overvoltage fault (PVDD_OV_22V or PVDD_OV_28V):
- Half-bridges and Gate
drivers support warning or shutoff when VPVDD > low VPVDD
threshold voltage (22V) or shutoff for high VPVDD threshold voltage (28V).
- PVDD_OV_22V has a configurable warning or
fault condition using register PVDD_OV_LVL setting available for these driver
outputs as defined in Half-bridges and Gate driver PVDD Overvoltage Behavior table.
- The deglitch time for PVDD_OV_22V can be
adjusted through the PVDD_OV_DG register settings.
- PVDD_OV_MODE can be set to fault response Latched
Fault or Automatic Recovery modes.
