FLEXMOS] Hex Low‐side

MOSFET Pre‐driver

The NCV7518 / NCV7518A programmable six channel low-side

MOSFET pre-driver is one of a family of FLEXMOS automotive

grade products for driving logic-level MOSFETs. The product is

controllable by a combination of serial SPI and parallel inputs. The

device of fers 3.3 V/ 5 V compatible inputs and the serial output driver

can be powered from either 3.3 V or 5 V. An internal power-on reset

provides controlled power up. A reset input allows external

re-initialization and an enable input allows all outputs and diagnostics

to be simultaneously disabled.

Each channel independently monitors its external MOSFET’s drain

voltage for fault conditions. Shorted load fault detection thresholds are

fully programmable using an externally programmed reference

voltage and a combination of discrete internal ratio values. The ratio

values are SPI selectable and allow different detection thresholds for

each channel.

Fault recovery operation for each channel is programmable and may

be selected for latch-off or automatic retry. Status information for each

channel is 3-bit encoded by fault type and is available through SPI

communication.

The FLEXMOS family of products offers application scalability

through choice of external MOSFETs.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION

General

The NCV7518 is a six channel general-purpose low-side

pre-driver for controlling and protecting N-type logic level

MOSFETs. Programmable fault detection and protection

modes allow the device to accommodate a wide range of

external MOSFETs and loads, providing flexible

application solutions. Separate power supply pins are

provided for low and high current paths to improve analog

accuracy and digital signal integrity.

Power Up/Down Control

An internal Power-On Reset (POR) monitors VCC1 and

causes all GATX outputs to be held low until sufficient

voltage i s available to allow proper control of the device. All

internal registers are initialized to their defaults, status data

is cleared, and the open-drain fault flag (FLTB) is disabled.

When VCC1 exceeds the POR threshold, the device is

initialized and ready to accept input data. When VCC1 falls

below the POR threshold during power down, FLTB is

disabled and all GATX outputs are driven and held low until

VCC1 falls below about 1.5 V.

RSTB and ENB Inputs

The active-low RSTB input with a resistive pull-down

allows device reset by an external signal. When RSTB is

brought lo w, all GATX outputs, the timer clock, the SPI, and

the FLTB flag are disabled. All internal registers are

initialized to their default states, status data is cleared, and

the SPI and FLTB are enabled when RSTB goes high.

The active-low ENB input with resistive pull-up provides

a global enable. ENB disables all GATX outputs and

diagnostics, and resets the auto-retry timer when brought

high. The SPI is enabled, fault data is not cleared and

registers remain as programmed. Faulted outputs are

re-enabled when ENB goes low.

SPI Communication

The NCV7518 is a 16-bit slave device. Communication

between the host and the device may either be parallel via

individual CSB addressing or daisy-chained through other

devices using a compatible SPI protocol.

The active-low CSB chip select input has a pull-up

resistor. The SI and SCLK inputs have pull-down resistors.

The recommended idle state for SCLK is low. The tri-state

SO line driver is powered via the VDD and the VSS pins, an d

can be supplied with either 3.3 V or 5 V.

The device employs odd parity, and frame error detection

that requires integer multiples of 16 SCLK cycles during

each CSB high-low-high cycle (valid communication

frame.) A parity or frame error does not affect the FLTB flag.

The host initiates communication when a selected

device’s CSB pin goes low. Output data is simultaneously

sent MSB first from the SO pin while input data is received

MSB first at the SI pin under synchronous control of the

master ’s SCLK signal while CSB is held low (Figure 10).

Output data changes on the falling edge of SCLK and is

guaranteed valid before the next rising edge of SCLK. Input

data received must be valid before the rising edge of SCLK.

NCV7518, NCV7518A

www.onsemi.com

When CSB goes low, frame error detection is initialized,

output data is transferred to the SPI, and the FLTB flag is

disabled and reset if previously set.

If a valid frame has been received when CSB goes high,

the last multiple of 16 bits received is decoded into

command data, and FLTB is re-enabled. The FLTB flag will

be set if a fault is detected.

If a frame or parity error is detected when CSB goes high,

new command data is ignored, and previous fault data

remains latched and available for retrieval during the next

valid frame. The FLTB flag will be set if a fault (not a frame

or parity error) is detected.

The interaction between CSB and FLTB facilitates fault

polling. When multiple NCV7518 devices are configured

for parallel SPI access with individual CSB addressing, the

device reporting a fault can be identified by pulsing each

CSB in turn.

RESERVED RESERVED FOR TEST MODE

Gate & Mode Select − Register R0

Each GATX output is turned on/off serially by

programming its respective GX bit (Table 4). When parallel

inputs I N X = 0, setting R0.GX = 1 causes the selected GATX

output to drive its external MOSFET’s gate to VCC2 (ON).

Setting R0.GX = 0 causes the selected GATX output to drive

its external MOSFET’s gate to VSS (OFF.) Note that the

actual state of the output depends on POR, RSTB, ENB and

shorted load fault states (SHRTX) as later defined by

Equation 1. Default after reset is R0.D[11:0] = 0 (all

channels latch-off mode, all outputs OFF.) R 0 i s an echo type

response register.

The disable mode for shorted load (on-state) faults is

controlled by each channel’s respective MX bit. Setting

R0.MX = 0 causes the selected GATX output to latch-off

when a fault is detected. Setting R0.MX = 1 causes the

selected G ATX output to auto-retry when a fault is detected.

Recovery from latch-of f is performed for all channels by

disabling then re-enabling the device via the ENB input.

Recovery for selected channels is performed by reading the

status registers (R4, R5) for the faulted channels then

executing a diagnostic ON or OFF pulse for the desired

channels.

NCV7518, NCV7518A

www.onsemi.com

When auto-retry is selected, input changes for turn-on

time are ignored while the retry timer is active. Once active,

the timer will run to completion of the programmed time.

The output will follow the input at the end of the retry

interval. The timer is reset when ENB = 1 or when the mode

is changed to latch-off.

Diagnostic Pulse Select − Register R1

The NCV7518 has functionality to perform either on-state

or off-state diagnostic pulses (Table 5) The function is

provided for applications having loads normally in a

continuous on or off state. The diagnostic pulse function is

available for both latch-of f and auto-retry modes. The pulse

executes for the selected channel(s) on low-high transition

on CSB. Default after reset is R1.D[1 1:0] = 0. R1 is an echo

type response register.

Diagnostic pulses have priority and are not dependant on

the input (INX, GX) or the output (GATX) states. The pulse

does not execute if: ENB =1 (device is disabled); both an ON

and OFF pulse is simultaneously requested for the same

channel; an ON or OFF pulse is requested and a SCB

(shorted load) diagnostic code is present for the selected

channels; an ON or OFF pulse is requested while a pulse is

currently executing in the selected channels (i.e. a blanking

timer is active); the selected channels are currently under

auto-retry control (i.e. refresh timer is active).

When R1.FX = 1, the diagnostic OFF pulse command is

executed. The open load diagnostic is turned on if disabled

(see Diagnostic Config 2 − R3), the output changes state for

the programmed tBL(OFF) blanking period, and the

diagnostic status is latched if of higher priority than the

previous status. ICHG current is turned on if enabled via R3.

The output assumes the currently commanded state at the

end of the pulse.

When R1.NX = 1, the diagnostic ON pulse command is

executed. The output changes state for the programmed

tBL(ON) blanking period, and the diagnostic status is latched

if of higher priority than the previous status. The output

assumes the currently commanded state at the end of the

pulse. A flowchart for the diagnostic pulse is given in

Figure 16.

Gate Driver Control and Enable

Each GATX output may be turned on by either its

respective parallel INX input or the Gate & Mode Select

device’s RSTB reset and ENB enable inputs can be used to

implement global control functions, such as system reset,

over-voltage or input override by a watchdog controller.

The RSTB input has an internal pull-down resistor and the

ENB input has an internal pull-up resistor. Each parallel

input has an internal pull-down resistor. Parallel input is

recommended when low frequency (≤10 kHz) PWM

operation of the outputs is desired. Unused parallel inputs

should be connected to GND.

When RSTB is brought low, all GATX outputs, the timer

clock, the SPI, and the FLTB flag are disabled. All internal

registers are initialized to their default states, status data is

cleared, and the SPI and FLTB are enabled when RSTB goes

high.

ENB disables all GATX outputs and diagnostics, and

resets the auto-retry timer when brought high. The SPI is

enabled, fault data is not cleared and registers remain as

programmed. Faulted outputs are re-enabled when ENB

goes low.

The INX input state and the GX register bit data are

logically combined with the internal (active low) power -on

reset signal (POR), the RSTB and ENB input states, and the

shorted load state (internal SHRTX) to control the

corresponding GATX output such that:

GATX+POR @RSTB @ENB @SHRTX@ǒINx)GXǓ

(eq. 1)

The GATX state truth table is given in Table 16.

Gate Drivers

The non-inverting GATX drivers are symmetrical

resistive switches (350 W typ.) to the VCC2 and VSS

voltages. While the outputs are designed to provide

symmetrical gate drive to an external MOSFET, load current

switching symmetry is dependent on the characteristics of

the external MOSFET and its load. Figure 12 shows the gate

driver block diagram.

Figure 12. Gate Driver Channel

Blanking and Filter Timers

Blanking timers are used to allow drain feedback to

stabilize after a channel is commanded to change states.

Filter timers are used to suppress glitches while a channel is

in a stable state.

A turn-on blanking timer is started when a channel is

commanded on. Drain feedback is sampled after tBL(ON). A

turn-off blanking timer is started when a channel is

commanded off. Drain feedback is sampled after tBL(OFF).

A filter timer is started when a channel is in a stable state

and a fault detection threshold associated with that state has

been crossed. Drain feedback is sampled after tFF(ON|OFF).

A filter timer may also be started while a blanking timer is

active, so the blanking interval could be extended by the

filter time.

Each channel has independent blanking and filter timers.

The parameters for the tFF(ON|OFF) filter timer are the same

for all channels. The turn-on/off blanking time for each

channel can be selected via the Diagnostic Config 1 register

bits R2.C[8:5] (Tables 6 and 8).

If a blanking timer is currently running when the register

is changed, the new value is accepted but will not take ef fect

until the next activation of the timer.

Blanking timers for all channels are started when both

RSTB goes high and ENB goes low, when RSTB goes high

while ENB is low, when ENB goes low while RSTB is high,

or by POR.

Fault Diagnostics and Behavior

Each channel has independent fault diagnostics and

employs blanking and filter timers to suppress false faults.

An external MOSFET is monitored for fault conditions by

connecting its drain to a channel’s DRNX feedback input

through an optional external series resistor.

Shorted load (or short to VLOAD) faults can be detected

when a driver is on. Open load or short to GND faults can be

detected when a driver is off.

On-state faults will initiate MOSFET protection behavior,

set the FLTB flag and the respective channel’s status bits in

NCV7518, NCV7518A

www.onsemi.com

the device’s status registers. Off-state faults will simply set

the FLTB flag and the channel’s status bits.

Status information is retrieved by SPI read of registers R4

and R5 (Table 11). Status information for each channel is

3-bit priority encoded (Table 12). Shorted load fault has

priority over open load and short to GND. Short to GND has

priority over open load. Priority ensures that the most severe

fault data is available at the next SPI read.

Status is latched for the currently higher priority fault and

is not demoted if a fault of lower priority occurs. The status

registers are reset to “Diagnostic Not Complete” after

reading the registers, or by asserting a reset via RSTB. Status

registers are not af fected by ENB.

When either RSTB is low or ENB is high, diagnostics are

disabled. When RSTB is high and ENB is low, open load

diagnostics are enabled according to the state of the

Diagnostic Config 2 register bits R3.D[5:0] (Table 10).

Diagnostic Pulse Mode

The NCV7518 has functionality to perform either on-state

or off-state diagnostic pulses (Table 5). The function is

provided for applications having loads normally in a

continuous on or off state. The diagnostic pulse function is

available for both latch-of f and auto-retry modes. The pulse

executes for the selected channel(s) on low-high transition

on CSB.

Diagnostic pulses have priority and are not dependant on

the input (INX, GX) or the output (GATX) states. The pulse

does not execute if: ENB =1 (device is disabled); both an ON

and OFF pulse is simultaneously requested for the same

channel; an ON or OFF pulse is requested and a SCB

(shorted load) diagnostic code is present for the selected

channels; an ON or OFF pulse is requested while a pulse is

currently executing in the selected channels (i.e. a blanking

timer is active); the selected channels are currently under

auto-retry control (i.e. refresh timer is active).

When R1.FX = 1, the diagnostic OFF pulse command is

executed. The open load diagnostic is turned on if disabled

(see Diagnostic Config 2 − R3), the output changes state for

the programmed tBL(OFF) blanking period, and the

diagnostic status is latched if of higher priority than the

previous status. ICHG current is turned on if enabled via R3.

The output assumes the currently commanded state at the

end of the pulse.

When R1.NX = 1, the diagnostic ON pulse command is

executed. The output changes state for the programmed

tBL(ON) blanking period, and the diagnostic status is latched

if of higher priority than the previous status. The output

assumes the currently commanded state at the end of the

pulse. A flowchart for the diagnostic pulse is given in

Figure 16.

Shorted Load Detection

An external reference voltage applied to the FLTREF

input serves as a common reference for all channels

(Figures 1 and 2). The FLTREF voltage should be within the

range of 0.35 to 2.75 V and can be derived via a voltage

divider between VCC1 and GND.

Shorted load detection thresholds can be programmed vi a

SPI in eight increments that are ratiometric to the applied

FLTREF voltage. Separate thresholds can be selected for

each channel via the Diagnostic Config 1 register bits

R2.C[11:9] (Tables 6 and 9).

A shorted load fault is detected when a channel’s DRNX

feedback is greater than its selected fault reference after

either the turn-on blanking or the filter has timed out.

Shorted Load Fault Disable and Recovery

Shorted load fault disable mode for each channel is

individually SPI programmable via the device’s Gate &

Mode select register bits R0.M[5:0] (Table 4).

When latch-off mode (default) is selected, the

corresponding G ATX output is latched of f upon detection of

a fault. Recovery from latch-off is performed for all

channels by disabling then re-enabling the device via the

ENB input. Recovery for selected channels is performed by

reading the status registers (R4, R5) for the faulted channels

then executing a diagnostic ON or OFF pulse for the desired

channels.

When auto-retry mode is selected the corresponding

GATX output is turned off upon detection of a fault for the

duration of the fault retry time (tFR). When auto-retry is

selected, input changes for turn-on blanking time are

ignored while the retry timer is active. Once active, the timer

will run to completion of the programmed time. The output

will follow the input at the end of the retry interval. The timer

is reset when ENB = 1 or when the mode is changed to

latch-off.

The output is automatically turned back on (if still

commanded on) when the retry time ends. The channel’s

DRNX feedback is re-sampled after the turn-on blanking

time. The output will automatically be turned off if a fault is

again detected. This behavior will continue for as long as the

channel is commanded on and the fault persists.

In either mode, a fault may exist at turn-on or may occur

some time afterward. To be detected, the fault must exist

longer than either tBL(ON) at turn-on or longer than tFF(ON)

some time after turn-on. The length of time that a MOSFET

stays on during a shorted load fault is thus limited to either

tBL(ON) or tFF(ON).

Recovery Retry Time

A global retry timer is used for auto-retry timing. The first

faulted channel triggers the timer and the full retry time is

guaranteed for that channel. An additional faulted channel

may initially retry immediately after its turn-on blanking

time, but subsequent retries will have the full retry time.

If all channels become faulted, they will become

synchronized to the global retry timer.

Open Load and Short to GND Detection

A window comparator with references and bias currents

proportional to VLOAD is used to detect open load or short

to GND faults when a channel is off. Each channel’s DRNX

feedback is compared to the references after either the

turn-off blanking or the filter has timed out. Figure 13 shows

the DRNX bias and fault detection zones.

No fault is detected if the feedback voltage at DRNX is

greater than the VOL open load reference. If the feedback is

less than the VSG short to GND reference, a short to GND

fault is detected. If the feedback is less than VOL and greater

than VSG, an open load fault is detected.

When either RSTB is low or ENB is high, diagnostics are

disabled. When RSTB is high and ENB is low, off-state

diagnostics are enabled according to the content of the

Diagnostic Config 2 register bits R3.D[11:0] (Tables 10

The transient current is started when a channel’s turn-off

blanking time is started and terminated either when the

DRNx voltage reaches VCTR or when the turn-off blanking

time t BL(OFF) expires. V DRNX will remain at VCTR if an open

load truly exists, otherwise the capacitance can continue to

charge via RLD.

When a channel is off and VLD and RLD are present, RSG

is absent, and VDRNX >> VCTR, bias current IOL is supplied

from VLD to ground through resistors RLD and optional

RDX, and bridge diode D2. Bias current ISG is supplied from

VLOAD to VCTR through D3. No fault is detected if the

feedback voltage (VLD minus the total voltage drop caused

by IOL and the resistance in the path) is greater than VOL.

When RSG and either VLD or RLD are absent, the bridge

will self-bias so that VDRNX will settle to about VCTR. An

open load fault can be detected since the feedback is between

VSG and VOL.

Short to GND detection can tolerate up to a ±1.0 V offset

(VOS) between the NCV7518’s GND and the short. When

RSG is present and VDRNX << VCTR, bias current ISG is

supplied from VLOAD to VOS through D1, and the RSG and

optional RDX resistances. Bias current IOL is supplied from

VCTR to ground through D4.

When V LD and RLD are p res ent , a voltage divider between

VLD and VOS is formed by RLD and RSG. A “soft” short to

NCV7518, NCV7518A

www.onsemi.com

GND may be detected in this case depending on the ratio of

RLD and RSG and the values of RDX, VLD, and VOS.

Optional RDX resistor is used when voltages greater than

the 60 V minimum clamp voltage or down to −1 V are

expected at the DRNx inputs. Note that the comparators see

a voltage drop or rise due to the RDX resistance and the bias

currents. This produces an error in the comparison of

feedback voltage at the comparator inputs to the actual node

voltage VX.

Several equations for choosing RDX and for predicting

open load or short to GND resistances, and a discussion of

the dynamic behavior of the short to GND/ open load

diagnostic are provided in the “Application Guidelines”

section of this data sheet.

Fault Flag (FLTB)

The open-drain active-low fault flag output can be used t o

provide immediate fault notification to a host controller.

Fault detection from all channels is logically ORed to the

flag (Figure 15) The FLTB outputs from several devices can

be wire-ORed to a common pull-up resistor connected to the

controller’s 3.3 or 5 V VDD supply.

When RSTB and CSB are high, and ENB is low, the flag

is set (low) when any channel detects any fault. The flag is

reset (hi-Z) and disabled during POR, when either RSTB or

CSB is low, or when ENB is high. See Table 18 for details.

The interaction between CSB and FLTB facilitates fault

polling. When multiple NCV7518 devices are configured

for parallel SPI access with individual CSB addressing, the

device reporting a fault can be identified by pulsing each

CSB in turn.

Fault Detection and Capture

Each channel of the NCV7518 is capable of detecting

shorted load faults when the channel is on, and short to

ground or open load faults when the channel is off. Each

fault ty p e i s p r iority encoded into 3-bit per channel fault data

(Table 12.) Shorted load fault data has priority over open

load and short to GND data. Short to GND data has priority

over open load data. Priority ensures that the most severe

fault data is available at the next SPI read.

A drain feedback input for each channel compares the

voltage at the drain of the channel’s external MOSFET to

several internal reference voltages. Separate detection

references are used to distinguish the three fault types.

Blanking and filter timers are used respectively to allow for

output state transition settling and for glitch suppression.

When enabled and configured, each channel’s drain

feedback input is continuously compared to references

appropriate to the channel’s input state to detect faults, but

the comparison result is only latched at the end of either a

blanking or filter timer event.

Blanking timers for all channels are started when both

RSTB goes high and ENB goes low, when RSTB goes high

while ENB is low, when ENB goes low while RSTB is high,

or by POR. A single channel’s blanking timer is triggered

when its input state changes. If the comparison of the

feedback to a reference indicates an abnormal condition

when the blanking time ends, a fault has been detected and

the fault data is latched into the channel’s status register.

A channel’s filter timer is triggered when its drain

feedback comparison state changes. If the change indicates

an abnormal condition when the filter time ends, a fault has

been detected and the fault data is latched into the channel’s

status register.

Thus, a state change of the inputs (POR, RSTB, ENB, INX

or G X) o r a state change of an individual channel’s feedback

(DRNX) comparison must occur for a timer to be triggered

and a detected fault to be captured.

Fault Capture, SPI Communication, and SPI Frame

Error Detection

The NCV7518 latches a fault when it is detected, and

parity and frame error detection will not allow any register

to accept data if an invalid frame occurred.

The fault capture, parity, and frame error detection

strategies combine to ensure that intermittent faults can be

captured and identified, and that the device cannot be

inadvertently re-programmed by a communication error.

When a fault has been detected, status information is

latched into a channel’s status register if of higher priority

than current status, and the FLTB flag is set. The register

holds the status data and ignores subsequent lower priority

status data for that channel.

Current status information is transferred from the selected

status register into the SPI shift register at the start of the SPI

frame following the read status request. This ensures that

status updates continue during inter-frame latency between

the status request and delivery. The FLTB flag is reset when

CSB goes low.

The selected status register is cleared when CSB goes high

at the end of the SPI frame only if a valid frame has occurred;

otherwise the register retains status information until a valid

read frame occurs. The FLTB flag will be set if a fault is still

present.

Status registers and the FLTB flag can also be cleared by

toggling RSTB H→L→H. A full I/O truth table is given in

Table 18.

Status Priority Encoding

Shorted load (SCB) faults can be detected when a driver

is ON. Open load (OLF) or short to GND (SCG) faults can

NCV7518, NCV7518A

www.onsemi.com

be detected when a driver is OFF. Status memory is priority

encoded in a 3-bit per driver format (Table 12).

Status memory will be encoded “Diagnostic Not

Complete” during a blanking period unless a fault of higher

priority has previously been encoded. Status memory will be

encoded “Diagnostic Not Complete” (cleared) for the

selected status register at the end of a valid SPI frame.

“Diagnostic Complete − N o Fault” will be encoded when

BOTH on-state AND off-state diagnostics have been

completed unless a fault of higher priority has previously

been encoded. A diagnostic cycle may start from either an

off-state or an on-state.

When a diagnostic cycle starts from an off-state and no

fault is detected, “No SCG/OLF Fault” will be encoded

unless a fault of higher priority has previously been encoded.

Otherwise, “OLF” or “SCG” will be encoded unless a fault

of higher priority has previously been encoded. If the cycle

continues t o a n on-state and no fault is detected, “Diagnostic

Complete − No Fault” will be encoded. Otherwise, “SCB”

will be encoded.

When a diagnostic cycle starts from an on-state and no

fault is detected, “No SCB Fault” will be encoded unless a

fault of higher priority has previously been encoded.

Otherwise, “SCB” will be encoded. If the cycle continues to

an off-state and no fault is detected, “Diagnostic Complete

− No Fault” will be encoded unless a fault of higher priority

has previously been encoded. Otherwise, “OLF” or “SCG”

will be encoded unless a fault of higher priority has

previously been encoded.

Status is latched for the currently higher priority fault and

is not demoted if a fault of lower priority occurs. The status

registers are reset to “Diagnostic Not Complete” after

reading the registers, or by asserting a reset via RSTB. Status

registers are not af fected by ENB.

A Statechart diagram of the diagnostic status encoding is

given in Figure 17 and additional clarification is given in

“Appendix A − Diagnostic and Protection Behavior

Tutorial”.

VLOAD Undervoltage Detection

Undervoltage detection is used to suppress off-state

diagnostics when VLOAD falls below the specified

VLDUV operating voltage. This ensures that potentially

incorrect diagnostic status is not captured. On-state

diagnostics continue to operate normally and status

information is updated appropriately for an off-to-on input

transition during undervoltage.

Previous status information and FLTB are unchanged

when entering or leaving undervoltage. Upon a read of the

status registers during undervoltage, the status is changed to

“Diagnostic Not Complete” and will remain as such for

channels in an off-state during the entire undervoltage

interval. Status information and FLTB are updated

appropriately if a channel changes from off to on during the

interval.

When VLOAD returns to its normal operating range, a

channel’s tBL(OFF) blanking timer is started if the channel

was in an off state. Status information is updated

appropriately after the tBL(OFF) blanking interval, or after

the tFF(OFF) filter interval if the filter has been activated.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

General

Unused DRNX inputs should be connected to VLOAD to

prevent false open load faults. Unused parallel inputs should

be connected to GND and unused reset or enable inputs

should be connected to VCC1 or GND respectively. The

user’s software should be designed to ignore fault

information for unused channels. For best shorted-load

detection accuracy, the external MOSFET source terminals

should be star-connected and the NCV7518’s GND pin, and

the lower resistor in the fault reference voltage divider

should be Kelvin connected to the star (see Figure 2).

Consideration of auto-retry fault recovery behavior is

necessary from a power dissipation viewpoint (for both the

NCV7518 and the MOSFETs) and also from an EMI

viewpoint.

Driver slew rate and turn-on/of f symmetry can be adjusted

externally to the NCV7518 in each channel’s gate circuit by

the use of series resistors for slew control, or resistors and

diodes for symmetry. Any benefit of EMI reduction by this

method comes at the expense of increased switching losses

in the MOSFETs.

The channel fault blanking timers must be considered

when choosing external components (MOSFETs, slew

control resistors, etc.) to avoid false faults. Component

choices must ensure that gate circuit charge/discharge times

stay within the turn-on/turn-off blanking times.

The NCV7518 does not have integral drain-gate flyback

clamps. Self-clamped MOSFET products, such as

ON Semiconductor’s NIF9N05CL or NCV8440A devices,

are recommended when driving unclamped inductive loads.

This flexibility allows choice of MOSFET clamp voltages

suitable to each application.

Latch−off Recovery and PWM Operation

When a channel is latched off and the recovery method

chosen is the diagnostic pulse, the recovery attempt can be

blocked by a PWM or other signal transition at the channel’s

parallel INx input. The transition starts an ON or OFF

blanking timer which will prevent execution of a pulse

request if the request via SPI is received while the timer is

running.

This can be overcome by first sending Gx = 1 via SPI (i.e.

serial control) to override the channel’s INx input, reading

the diagnostic registers, then sending a pulse request. The

channel can then be released back to parallel control by

sending Gx = 0. Delays are added as necessary for the

appropriate blanking times between each step. Global

recovery may also be performed disabling then re−enabling

the device via the ENB input.

Auto−retry and OFF Pulse Interaction

A single hardware implementation serves as the global

auto−retry (tFR) timer function for all channels and within

each channel the turn−on (tBL(ON)) and turn−off (tBL(OFF))

blanking timers are shared (single hardware

implementation) with tBL(ON) time dominant. These same

blanking timers also generate the ON or OFF diagnostic

pulses.

If a channel configured for auto−retry is continuously

commanded O N and becomes faulted (SCB), it remains ON

and a turn−on blanking time is initiated every 8 ms for the

faulted channel and also for each non−faulted ON channel

configured for auto−retry. If a channel configured for

auto−retry is commanded OFF, it remains OFF and no

blanking timers are started.

When a diagnostic OFF pulse request is received just prior

to an auto−retry cycle, the channel’s tBL(OFF) timer can be

interrupted by the auto−retry timer (tBL(ON) blanking time

initiation). For example, a channel’s tBL(OFF) timer is

programmed for 162 ms and an OFF pulse is requested and

begins execution, but before it can complete its timeout, the

auto−retry initiates a tBL(ON) blanking time. Due to the

blanking timer sharing, the tBL(OFF) timer does not complete

its timeout and the pulse request becomes locked out.

The number of locked−out channels depends on which

ones were programmed for auto−retry and which ones were

requesting an OFF−pulse within the described zone of

vulnerability. Further OFF pulse requests will fail to execute

for each locked−out channel.

This interaction can be avoided for channels operated in

a constant−on state by selecting the latch−off recovery mode

and emulating the auto−retry mode. This can be done by

sending a series of read status and diagnostic pulse execution

requests with appropriate delays on a scheduled (e.g. every

10 ms) basis. Global recovery may also be performed

disabling then re−enabling the device via the ENB input.

Parity Error Handling

The SPI input (SI) shift register is reset (forced to 0x00)

in case of an invalid frame resulting from either an incorrect

frame length or incorrect parity. The ‘live’ parity check

hardware implementation of the SI register content is

blocked during a frame by CSB. When CSB goes high and

the frame length is correct but parity is incorrect, parity

check inputs may change as the SI register is forced to 0x00

and register data may be affected. In the event a parity error

occurs it is recommended to refresh all of the device’s

configuration (write) registers. Register data is not affected

if the frame length is incorrect.
