7.3.14.7 Watchdog Fault (WDFLT, DRV8703D-Q1 Only)
An MCU watchdog function can be enabled to ensure that the external controller that is instructing the
DRV8703D-Q1 device is active and in a known state. The SPI watchdog must be enabled by writing a 1 to the
WD_EN bit through the SPI (disabled by default, bit is 0). When the watchdog is enabled, an internal timer starts
to count down to an interval set by the WD_DLY bits. The register address 0x00 must be read by the MCU within
the interval set by the WD_DLY bit to reset the watchdog. If the timer is allowed to expire, the nWDFLT pin is
enabled. When the nWDFLT pin is enabled the following occurs:
• The nWDFLT pin goes low for 64 µs.
• The nFAULT pin is asserted.
• The WD_EN bit is cleared.
• The drivers are disabled.
The WDFLT bit remains asserted, and operation is halted until the CLR_FLT bit has been written to 1.
Table 8 lists the fault responses of the device under the fault conditions.
