7.3.4.5 On-State Diagnostics (OLA) - SPI Variant Only

  • Device state: ACTIVE - high-side recirculation
  • Mechanism and threshold: On-state diagnostics (OLA) can detect an open load detection in the ACTIVE state during high-side recirculation. This includes high-side load connected directly to VM or through a high-side FET on the other half-bridge. During a PWM switching transition, the inductive load current re-circulates into VM through the HS body diode when the LS FET is turned OFF. The device looks for a voltage spike on OUTx above VM during the brief dead time, before the HS FET is turned ON. To observe the voltage spike, this load current needs to be higher than the pull down current (IPD_OLA) on the output asserted by the FET driver. Device has configurable bit OLA_FLTR (CONFIG4) for either "16" or "1024" consecutive re-circulation switching cycles with absence of this voltage spike to indicate a loss of load inductance or increase in load resistance and is detected as an OLA fault.
  • Action:
    • nFAULT pin is asserted low
    • Output - normal function maintained
    • IPROPI pin - normal function maintained
  • Reaction configurable between latch setting and retry setting. In retry setting, OLA fault is automatically cleared with the detection of either "16" or "1024" consecutive voltage spikes during re-circulation switching cycles.
  • OLA Fault Behavior during direction change:

    • Retry mode - If an open load condition is detected on OUTx, OLAx bit is set if condition persists for longer than the filter time. OLAx filter is cleared on direction change.

    • Latch mode - If an open load condition is detected on OUTx, OLAx is set if condition persists for longer than the filter time. OLAx remains latched until a CLR_FLT command is issued. OLAx filter is cleared on direction change.

  • OLA Fault Behavior during CLR_FLT command:

    • Retry mode - CLR_FLT command is not used.

    • Latch mode - If an open load condition is detected on OUT1, OLA1 is set if condition persists for

      longer than the filter time. OLAx remains latched until a CLR_FLT command is issued, which is cleared regardless of open load condition. If the condition does exist, OLA fault is reported again after the filter time.

This monitoring is optional and can be disabled.

Note: OLA is not supported for low-side loads (low-side recirculation).
