Pre-drivers - IGNITER IGN[1:6]

These 6 Ignition pre-drivers are designed to drive ignition load. They are driven by MSC

command. The push-pull stage is made up of a high-side current generator and a low-side

driver.

When an overcurrent fault is detected the driver switches off with higher slew rate (FAST

SR) to reduce the power dissipation.

There is a bit selection for disabling the LSD in case of external IGBT. It is suggested to

configure the MSC bit (IGN_LSD_DIS CONFIG_REG6 D7) disabling the LSD of igniter

before the msc_driver_enable command.

Ignition pre_drivers diagnosis

The driver has the following detection diagnosis:



Short To Vbat protection by checking the IGNx pin voltage higher than Vth_STB_IGN,

when the driver is enabled high (high-side on) or low (low-side on);



Open Load when the driver is enabled high (high-side on) (DIAGOL);



Short to Ground when the driver is enabled high (high-side on) (DIAGLV).
