6.3.6.5 VCP Undervoltage Fault (CP_OV)

If at any time the voltage between the VCP and VDRAIN pins falls below the VCP_UV threshold for longer than the tCP_UV_DG time, the DRV8363-Q1 detects a VCP undervoltage event. After detecting the undervoltage condition, the gate driver is disabled, charge pump is disabled, and nFAULT pin is driven low. After the VCP_UV condition is cleared, the fault state remains latched and can be cleared through an SPI command.
