SLOS874A – OCTOBER 2015 – REVISED OCTOBER 2015
7.3.7 Constant Vibration Strength
The DRV2605L-Q1 PWM input uses a digital level-shifter. Therefore, as long as the input voltage meets the V_IH
and V_IL levels, the vibration strength remains the same even if the digital levels vary. The DRV2605L-Q1 device
also features power-supply feedback. If the supply voltage drifts over time (because of battery discharge, for
example), the vibration strength remains the same as long as enough supply voltage is available to sustain the
required output voltage.
7.3.8 Battery Voltage Reporting
During playback, the DRV2605L-Q1 device provides real-time voltage measurement of the V_DD pin. The
VBAT[7:0] bit located in register 0x21 provides this information.
7.3.9 Low-Power Standby
Setting the device to standby reduces the idle power consumption without resetting the registers. In Low-Power
Standby mode, the DRV2605L-Q1 device features a fast turnon time when it is requested to play a waveform.
7.3.10 I²C Watchdog Timer
If an I²C stops unexpectedly, the possibility exists for the I²C protocol to remain in a hanged state. To allow for
the recovery of the communication without having to power cycle the device, the DRV2605L-Q1 device includes
an automatic watchdog timer that resets the I²C protocol without user intervention after 4.33 ms. This behavior
happens in all conditions except in standby mode. If the I²C stops unexpectedly during standby mode, the only
way to recover communication is by power-cycling the device.
7.3.11 Device Protection
7.3.11.1 Thermal Protection
The DRV2605L-Q1 device has thermal protection that causes the device to shut down if it becomes too hot. In
the event where the thermal protection kicks in, the DRV2605L-Q1 device asserts a flag (bit OVER_TEMP in
register 0x00) to notify the host processor.
7.3.11.2 Overcurrent Protection of the Actuator
If the impedance at the output pin of the DRV2605L-Q1 device is too low, the device latches the over-current flag
(OC_DETECT bit in register 0x00) and shuts down. The device periodically monitors the status of the short and
remains in this condition until the short is removed. When the short is removed, the DRV2605L-Q1 device
restarts in the default state.
7.3.11.3 Overcurrent Protection of the Regulator
The DRV2605L-Q1 device has an internal regulator that powers a portion of the system. If a short occurs at the
output of the REG pin, an internal overcurrent protection circuit is enabled and limits the current.
During a REG short, the device is not functional. When the short is removed, the DRV2605L-Q1 device
automatically resets to default conditions.
7.3.11.4 Brownout Protection
The DRV2605L-Q1 device has on-chip brownout protection. When activated, a reset signal is issued that returns
the DRV2605L-Q1 device to the initial default state. If the regulator voltage V_(REG) goes below the brownout
protection threshold (V_(BOT)) the DRV2605L-Q1 device automatically shuts down. When V_(REG) returns to the
typical output voltage (1.8 V) the DRV2605L-Q1 device returns to the initial device state. The brownout protection
threshold (V_(BOT)) is typically at 0.84 V.
The previously described behavior has one exception. The brownout circuit is designed to tolerate fast brownout
conditions as shown by Case 1 in Figure 15. If the V_DD ramp-up rate is slower than 3.6 kV/s, then the device can
fall into an unknown state. In such a situation, to return to the initial default state the device must be power-
cycled with a V_DD ramp-up rate that is faster than 3.6 kV/s.
