8.3.6 Slew Rate Control

An adjustable gate-drive current to the MOSFETs allows for driver output slew rate control. The MOSFET VDS

slew rate is a critical factor in optimizing radiated emissions, energy and duration of diode recovery spikes and

switching voltage transients related to parasitics. This slew rate is predominantly determined by the rate of gate

charge to the MOSFETs as shown in Figure 8-9.

The slew rate of each half-bridge can be adjusted by SLEW pin in hardware variant or by SLEW_RATE register

in SPI variant. The slew rate is calculated by the rise-time and fall-time of the voltage on OUTx pin as shown in

Figure 8-10.

8.3.7 Cross Conduction (Dead Time)

The device is fully protected against any cross conduction of MOSFETs - during the switching of high-side and

low-side MOSFETs, DRV8317 avoids shoot-through events by inserting a dead time (tdead). This is implemented

by sensing the gate-source voltage (VGS) of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs and ensuring that VGS

of high-side MOSFET has dropped below turn-off level before switching on the low-side MOSFET of same

half-bridge (or vice-versa) as shown in Figure 8-11 and Figure 8-12. The VGS of the high-side and low-side

MOSFETs (VGS_HS and VGS_LS) shown in Figure 8-12 are DRV8317 internal signals.
