Dead Time and Cross-Conduction Prevention

In the DRV8351-SEP, high-side and low-side inputs operate independently, with an exception to prevent cross conduction when high and low side are turned ON at the same time. During normal operation, the DRV8351-SEP turns OFF high-side and low-side output to prevent shoot through when both high-side and low-side inputs are at logic HIGH at the same time.

In DRV8351D-SEP, fixed dead-time of 200ns (typical value) is inserted to prevent high and low side gate output turning ON at same time.

Note: DRV8351-SEP exhibited cross conduction during characterization of single-event effects (SEE) and single-even burnouts (SEB). Please refer to Single-Event Effects (SEE) report for more details.
