shorts to VIGNP and shorts to ground. A short will cause the
appropriate MOSFETs to current limit. The current limit is
active for numerous retry periods until an over-temperature

valid. Once they are valid, they are latched until the SPI has
reported these faults to the microcontroller via the DO pin and
a logic [1] is written to the FLTCLR bit.

While the H-Bridge circuit is in operation (i.e., when a high
All ON-state faults must be present for a period of time that
state faults have been reported, a minimum ON time is
required for the low side MOSFET. For example, if the PWM
frequency is 11kHz, ON-state fault detection would not be
guaranteed for duty cycles of less than 11%.
Thermal Shutdown
fault sets the thermal shutdown bits (and any other faults that
may be present at that time) and latches off. The H-Bridge will
remain disabled until the microprocessor sets the FLTCLR bit
