Problem
Evaluation
Explanation
Corrective action(s)
Check position of VEEx_SEL (J1, J2)
jumpers
VEEx_SEL jumpers set the VCC/VEE
potential relative to each HV domain
GND
Disable HV domain power supplies,
and set correct VEExSEL jumpers.
for details.
Clear VCCOV bit (STATUS1) to
continue.
Check solder joint integrity of VEEx_
SEL (J1, J2) jumpers and other
VEEx-GNDISOx components
VEEx_SEL jumper (J1, J2) short
between 2-3, or low-impedance
component failure can cause VCC-
VEE potential to exceed VCCOV
Remove power.
Check VEEx_SEL jumper integrity.
Remove jumper and apply continuity
check for 2-3 short.
Check that Zener diode regulator is
valid in diode check.
VCCOV fault reported on startup
Check VCC-GNDISO potential
PWM is disabled during a VCC
overvoltage (20 V nom.)
Tune VCC-GNDISO potential to
suitable level with power supply set
resistor (R20).
Clear VCCOV bit (STATUS1) to
continue.
No PWM during short circuit test
Check PWMxSEL jumpers
Incorrect configuration of PWMALT
pins prevent short-circuit test by
enforcing dead time
For short-circuit test, set PWMLSEL
(J31) and PWMHSEL (J32) to bypass
dead time. See
details.
Check VSUP/VDD for undervoltage
condition
VDD_UV latches SPI buffer contents,
preventing updated fault reporting.
Check voltage provided at VDD pin
(pin 3).
On each read, compare the address
from the sent command and response
(a difference indicates that the SPI
response is latched due to inactive).
Read multiple addresses to ensure a
good comparison.
Check VCC is enabled at PS_EN
(J25) jumper
PS_EN can be enabled/disabled in
hardware or software
Enable VCC/VEE from SPIGen.
If using Rev B translator, set PS_EN
(J25) to 2-3 to permanently enable
the supply.
Bad SPI data, appears to repeat
previous response
Check VCC for undervoltage
Unpowered VCC prevents HV domain
from updating data
Tune VCC-GNDISO using R20
feedback
