6.5.1.1 Sleep Mode

The nSLEEP pin manages the state of the DRV8363-Q1. When the nSLEEP pin is low, the device goes to a low-power sleep mode. In sleep mode, all gate drivers are disabled, sense amplifiers are disabled, all external MOSFETs are disabled, the VCP trickle charge pump is disabled, and the DVDD regulator is disabled. The tSLEEP time must elapse after a falling edge on the nSLEEP pin before the device goes to sleep mode. The device comes out of sleep mode automatically if the nSLEEP pin is pulled high. The tWAKE time must elapse before the device is ready for inputs. While in Sleep mode, the nFAULT pin is pulled low.
