5.15.7.1 Short Circuit Protection Control Register

Name: SCPCR
Offset: 0x0B
Reset: 0x40
Property: R/W

Bit 76543210 
 SCSDENSCFLT [6:3]SCTHSEL [2:0] 
Access R/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/W 
Reset 01000000 

Bit 7 – SCSDEN

Short Circuit Shutdown Enable bit
ValueDescription
1 All gate driver outputs are disabled as soon as a short circuit failure is detected.
0 The short circuit event will only be indicated through the NIRQ pin.

Bits 6:3 – SCFLT [6:3]

Short Circuit Filter Time bits: The filter time needs to be configured according to Current Limitation Detection/Short Circuit Detection Time. The filter time starts after the edge blanking time (tEG_Blank) has expired and a VDS voltage larger than VSCREF has been detected. If the sensed voltage drops below the detection threshold during the filter time, the filter timer will be reset and will restart when another short circuit event occurs.

Bits 2:0 – SCTHSEL [2:0]
