Because the high-side and low-side V_DS overcurrent monitors share the SHx sense line, using the monitors if
both the high-side and low-side gate drivers of one half-bridge are split and being used is not possible. In this
case, connect the SHx pin to the high-side driver and disable the V_DS overcurrent monitors as shown in
Figure 20.

If the half-bridge is used to implement only a high-side or low-side driver, using the V_DS overcurrent monitors is
still possible. Connect the SHx pin as shown in Figure 21 or Figure 22. The unused gate driver and the
corresponding input can be left disconnected.

8.3.1.2 Device Interface Modes
The DRV832x family of devices supports two different interface modes (SPI and hardware) to allow the end
application to design for either flexibility or simplicity. The two interface modes share the same four pins, allowing
the different versions to be pin to pin compatible. This allows for application designers to evaluate with one
interface version and potentially switch to another with minimal modifications to their design.
