Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.2 Configurable Safety Mode
The DRV3201-Q1 can work in two different safety modes controlled by the external pin CSM, as described in
Table 5. This pin can be read back through SPI register RB0.

Table 5. Safety Modes
Description
Full safety mode:
All internal protection features are activated.
Configurable safety mode:
Protective actions as selected in configuration register CFG_REG_1 are enabled and they set diagnostic flags, deselected
actions only set diagnostic flags without protective action.
With this mode the device can be used outside the normal operation range but below Absolute Maximum Range (see
Absolute Maximum Ratings) under responsibility of user.
Table 6 defines the protective actions taken on certain error conditions. When the device is in full safety mode,
all internal protection features are activated, and all protective actions listed below are taken if the respective
error condition is detected. When the device is in configurable safety mode (CSM), the error conditions for which
CSM is available, the protective action and ERR pin indication (see Error Indication on ERR Pin) can be
configured with the corresponding bit in CFG1. The diagnostic flags are always set if the respective error
condition is present, regardless of the CSM setting.
