8.3.6.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all FETs in the H-bridge are disabled and the nFAULT pin is driven
low. After the die temperature falls to a safe level, operation automatically resumes. The nFAULT pin is released
after operation has resumed.
8.3.6.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VM pin falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage, VUVLO, all circuitry in the
device is disabled, and all internal logic is reset. Operation resumes when VM rises above the UVLO rising
threshold. The nFAULT pin is driven low during an undervoltage condition and is released after operation has
resumed.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
The DRV8846 device is active unless the nSLEEP pin is driven low. In sleep mode, the VINT regulator is
disabled and the H-bridge FETs are disabled (Hi-Z). The time tSLEEP must elapse after a falling edge on the
nSLEEP pin before the device enters sleep mode. The DRV8846 is brought out of sleep mode by bringing the
nSLEEP pin high. The time tWAKE must elapse, after nSLEEP is brought high, before the outputs change state.
If the nENBL pin is brought high, the H-bridge outputs are disabled, but the internal logic is still active. An
appropriate edge on STEP (depending on the step mode) advances the indexer, but the outputs do not change
state until nENBL is driven low.
When VM falls below the VM UVLO threshold, VUVLO, the output driver, internal logic, and VINT regulator are
reset.
