Overcurrent detection-principle scheme
The overcurrent detection comparators are disabled, in order to avoid wrong voltage
measurements, in the following cases:
●
The respective half bridge is in high impedance state (both gates forced off)
●
The respective half bridge is commutating
●
The respective half bridge is commutated and the programmed blanking time has not
yet elapsed
●
The respective gate is turned off.
It is possible to set, if an overcurrent event causes the bridge turn-off or not, through the
OC_SD bit in the CONFIG register.
When the power bridges are turned off by an overcurrent event, they cannot be turned on
until the OCD flag is released by a GetStatus command.

Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
The L6482 provides a programmable gate driver supply voltage UVLO protection. When
one of the supply voltages of the gate driver (V
CC
for the low sides and V
BOOT
- V
S
for the
high sides) falls below the respective turn-off threshold, an undervoltage event occurs. In
this case, all gates are immediately turned off and the UVLO flag in the STATUS register is
forced low.
The UVLO flag is forced low and the gates are kept off until the gate driver supply voltages
return to above the respective turn-on threshold; in this case the undervoltage event expires
and the UVLO flag can be released through a GetStatus command.
The UVLO thresholds can be selected between two sets according to the UVLOVAL bit
value in the CONFIG register.
