7.8. Over-current detection circuit at the time of power supply short, GND short, and load
short
This IC incorporates the over-current detection for High-side and Low-side of each motor drive output
driver.
Therefore, if each motor drive output pin is short to the power supply, short to GND, and a load short,
then the over-current threshold(11A(typ.)) is exceeded, the over-current detection circuit operates and
lets the motor drive output OFF. All drivers of High-side/Low-side of OUT1/OUT2 pin become "OFF."
Moreover “L” is output from DIAG pin simultaneously.
Setting OCC (Over Current Control) pin to “H” or “L” enables correspondence to two modes.
Note: If detection signals of over-current detection circuit are less than the VBAT undervoltage, they
are forced to be undetected state.
Detection signals of over-current detection circuit are forced to be undetected state during an
initial diagnosis and a re-start.
7.8.1. In the case of OCC; H
•
When the motor drive output is short to power supply or short to GND, tBLANK2 = 1
μ
s is set to
the threshold of over-current (Iovc), and the prevention time of the malfunction is set by noise.
Then if a current flows longer than the setting time, the output is in the OFF state. After passing
500 ms (typ.), it returns automatically and repeats operations until instructions from external
MCU. The OUT1/OUT2 outputs return the normal operation when an output current is in the
normal range at the time of automatic returning.
•
The output is in the OFF state by instructions from MCU.
The signals from MCU are output to EN/ENB signals, and they perform OFF operation.
•
For returning from OFF state, each function restarts according to input instructions from MCU.
Each function re-starts with one pulse signal of EN falling or one pulse signal of ENB rising.
•
When tBLANK2 operates, tBLANK1 is ignored, and give priority to tBLANK2 and operate.
(For tBLANK1, refer to the section 7.3.1 . Chopper type current limitation control.)
