Combined diagnosis (configuration 1, 2 & 3)

In configuration 1, there are four couples of drivers in parallel to get four channels with lower

RdsON: OUT1 with OUT2, OUT3 with OUT4, DRN1 with DRN2, and DRN3 with DRN4. For

each couple, only one driver off diagnosis is enabled (OUT1, OUT3, DRN1, DRN3) while

the off diagnosis results are stored in both drivers registers. The other diagnosis of the two

drivers in parallel, as over-current, over-temperature and DLOSS, are both enabled.

The correct effect of the diagnosis can be guaranteed only if the drivers are correctly

parallelized externally.

In configuration 2 the off diagnosis is enabled for OUT1-4 only. Considering that the

diagnosis blanking time can be longer than the off time of PWM, the diagnosis results can

be affected. The short to GND fault can be detected by the HS OC fault when it is switched

on. The Open Load Fault can be detected when PWM is disabled (PWM disable SPI bit = 1)

only because in such a condition both HS and LS are OFF. In this condition the OUTx is

pulled down by LS off diagnosis pull down current (typical 70 µA) and it's necessary to wait

the time needed to discharge OUTx to get Open Load (OL) detection. The time to be

considered starts from the PWM disable bit writing.
