WHAT IT CHECKS
Temp (HS) > 170°C
or Temp (LS) > 170°C
Die-Center Temperature >
150°C
HS Mode Only.
HS On: Current < 2mA
HS Off: Current < 80µA
VDD < VDD_UV
V5 < VV5_UV
VDD < VVDD_WARN
Activity on CS:
Fault if no falling-edge for
more than 1.2s (or 600ms
or 200ms)
EFFECT ON FAULT
NAME
Single-channel HS and LS FAULT
are turned off immediately. (Note 18)
All channels HS and LS are
turned off.
FAULT
FAULT
PIN
BEHAVIOR
Pin goes low on any
fault;
if command-mode: pin
goes high when Z bit
is set,
else: pin goes high
when no faults
All channels HS and LS are
turned off; all LEDs off
UVLO
All channels HS and LS are
turned off; all LEDs off
Goes low
WDFLT
Goes high;
goes low at next CS
falling-edge

Reg 6 bit 2
Reg 6 bit 0
Reg 6 bit 7
No 8-Multiple CK
Pulses
Number of CK pulses
during a CS low period not SPI input data is discarded FAULT
a multiple of 8
Goes low on CS rise; Reg 6 bit 4
CRC Error Detection Received data does not
(If Enabled)
match the FCS word
SPI input data is discarded CERR
Goes high;
goes high on next CS
rise if fault does not
happen again
Reg 6 bit 6
Note 17: The HS or LS FETs are turned on/off according to the thermal protection signal generated by the analog circuit. On the
other hand, inside the logic circuit the thermal-protection signal is maintained high for at least 200ms (to filter out the
~10ms hysteretic cycling of the FET temperature).
Note 18: In command mode the FAULT pin behaves as an IRQ latched signal and can be cleared only by setting the Z bit to 1 (as
for any other fault register). In all other modes, FAULT is the logical OR of the real-time faults.
