variety of gate control and fault configurations possible,
depending on the motor drive requirements. The HC-
PL-316J has both inverting and noninverting gate con-
trol inputs, an open collector fault output suitable for
wired ‘OR’applications and an active low reset input.

The Gate Drive Voltage Output of the HCPL-316J can

As shown in Figure 70, the fault output of each HCPL-
316J gate driver is polled separately, and the individual
reset lines are asserted low independently to reset the
motor controller after a fault condition.

As shown in Figure 71, when configured for inverting op-

the FAULT output to V . For high reliability drives, the
IN+
open collector FAULT outputs of each HCPL-316J can be
wire ‘OR’ed together on a common fault bus, forming a
single fault bus for interfacing directly to the micro-con-
troller. When any of the six gate drivers detects a fault,
the fault output signal will disable all six HCPL-316J gate
drivers simultaneously and thereby provide protection
against further catastrophic failures.
