14.3.7. Electrical Defect on Coils, Detection and Confirmation
The principle relies on the detection of a voltage drop on at least one transistor of the H-bridge. Then the decision is taken to open the
transistors of the defective bridge.
This allow to detect the following short circuits:
• External coil short circuit
• Short between one terminal of the coil and Vbat or Gnd
• One cannot detect internal short in the motor
Open circuits are detected by 100% PWM duty cycle value during a long time
