12.3.4. Power Drivers Control
All power drivers are initially disabled from power-on-reset. To enable the power drivers, the microprocessor must first set
the driver enable bit to '1'. The gate drivers controlled by the microcontroller ports and PWM signals according to Table 21,
with configurable delays as shown in Table 21. Refer to the PAC application notes and user guide for additional
information on power drivers control programming.

12.3.5. Gate Driver Fault Protection
The ASPD incorporates a configurable fault protection mechanism using two protection event signals from the
Configurable Analog Front End (CAFE), designated as protection event 1 (PR1) and protection event 2 (PR2) signals. The
DRL0/DRL1/DRL2 drivers are designated as low-side group 1, and the DRL3 gate driver are designed as low-side group 2.
The DXH0/DXH1/DXH2 ultra-high-voltage gate drivers are designated as high-side group 1. The PR1 signal from the
CAFE can be used to disable low-side group 1, high-side group 1, or both depending on the PR1 mask bit settings. The PR2
signal from the CAFE can be used to disable low-side group 2, high-side group 2, or both depending on the PR2 mask bit
settings.
