Over / Under Voltage Detection and Protection
The over / under voltage detection is used to prevent undefined system status.
Over or under voltage detected:
Handling:
a) switch off the motor
b) reuse the input set value, if the supply voltage returns in the
permissible range

Over Temperature Detection and Protection
The over temperature detection is realised with an external temperature sensor (e.g. NTC re-
sistor) connected to the pin
TP
and the supply
VDD
. The threshold value of the temperature
detection is fixed at the voltage level V
refT
= 0.5 *VDD at the pin
TP
.

Handling of the over temperature failure:
Operating Mode 1 (V
MODE
= high):
-
The Over Temperature reaction: 100 % duty ratio of the FET-driver output (perma-
nent switch on the motor) as long as the temperature is higher than the predefined
threshold value (typical automotive application, the heating source is not the electri-
cal system but the combustion engine to be cooled).
Operating Mode 2 (V
MODE
= low):
-
The Over Temperature reaction: The motor is regulated down to not cross the pre-
defined temperature threshold (like a thermostat if the heating source is the electrical
system itself).
