Three Phase Field Effect
Transistor Pre-driver
33937
The 33937 and 33937A are Field Effect Transistor (FET) predrivers designed for three phase motor control and similar
applications. The 33937A has been specifically enhanced to
improve performance when driving very high current loads. The
integrated circuit (IC) uses SMARTMOS™ technology.
The IC contains three High Side FET pre-drivers and three Low
Side FET pre-drivers.Three external bootstrap capacitors provide
gate charge to the High Side FETs.
The IC interfaces to a MCU via six direct input control signals,
an SPI port for device setup and asynchronous reset, enable and
interrupt signals. Both 5.0 and 3.0 V logic level inputs are
accepted and 5.0 V logic level outputs are provided.

Notes
1. The device will withstand load dump transient as defined by ISO7637 with peak voltage of 80 V.
2. Normal operation of the 33937 at VPWR voltages greater than 28V can result in degradation or failure of the VLS regulator due to
transients induced during a RESET. A 20 V transient suppressor is recommended on the VLS pin (pin 51) to prevent excessive stress
under these conditions. Using the 33937A will avoid this limitation.
3. Short-circuit proof, the device will not be damaged or induce unexpected behavior due to shorts to external sources within this range.
4. This voltage should not be applied without also taking voltage at HS_S and voltage at PX_LS_S into account.
5. Actual operational limitations may differ from survivability limits. The VLS - VLS_S differential and the VBOOT - VHS_S differential must be
greater than 3.0 V to insure the output gate drive will maintain a commanded OFF condition on the output.

Case is considered EP - pin 55 under the body of the device. The actual power dissipation of the device is dependent on the operating
mode, the heat transfer characteristics of the board and layout and the operating voltage. See Figure 24 and Figure 25 for examples of
power dissipation profiles of two common configurations. Operation above the maximum operating junction temperature will result in a
reduction in reliability leading to malfunction or permanent damage to the device.
Pin soldering temperature limit is for 10 seconds maximum duration. Not designed for immersion soldering. Exceeding these limits may
cause malfunction or permanent damage to the device.

Notes
10. Operation with the Charge Pump is recommended when minimum system voltage could be less than 14 V. VPWR must exceed this
threshold in order for the Charge Pump and VDD regulator to startup and drive VPWR to > 8.0 V. Once VPWR exceeds 8.0 V, the circuits
will continue to operate even if system voltage drops below 6.0 V.
11. This parameter is guaranteed by design. It is not production tested.
12. Minimum external capacitor for stable VDD operation is 0.47 µF.
13.
Recommended external capacitor for the VLS regulator is 2.2 µF low ESR at each pin VLS and VLS_CAP.
14.
When VLS is less than this value, the outputs are disabled and HOLDOFF circuits are active. Recovery is automatic when VLS rises
above this threshold again. A filter delay of approximately 700 ns on the comparator output eliminates responses to spurious transients
on VLS.

Notes
15. When VLS is this amount below the normal VLS linear regulation threshold, the charge pump is enabled.
16. VSYS is the system voltage on the input to the charge pump. With recommended external components (1.0 µF, MUR 120 diode). The
Charge Pump is designed to supply the gate currents of a system with 100 A FETs in a 12 V application.
17. This parameter is a design characteristic, not production tested.
18. Current injection only occurs during output switch transitions. The IC is immune to specified injected currents for a duration of
approximately 1.0µs after an output switch transition. 1.0 µs is sufficient for all intended applications of this IC.
19. If a slightly higher gate voltage is required, larger bootstrap capacitors are required. At high duty cycles, the bootstrap voltage may not
recover completely, leading to a higher output on-resistance. This effect can be minimized by using low ESR capacitors for the bootstrap
and the VLS capacitors.
20. A small internal charge pump will supply up to 30 μA nominal to compensate for leakage on the High Side FET gate output and maintain
voltages after bootstrap events. It is not intended for external components to be connected to the High Side FET gate, but small amounts
of additional leakage can be accommodated. See Figures 11 through 14 for typical load margins.

21. This parameter is a design characteristic, not production tested.
22. As long as one input is in the common mode range there is no phase inversion on the output.
23. The hold off circuit is designed to operate over the full operating range of VSUP. The specification indicates the conditions used in
production test. Hold off is activated at VTHRST or VTHVLS.
24.
26.
Desaturation is measured as the voltage drop below VSUP, thus the threshold is compared to the drain-source voltage of the external
High Side FET. See Figure 5.
As long as one input is within VCM the output is guaranteed to have the correct phase. Exceeding the common mode rails on one input
will not cause a phase inversion on the output.
Input resistance is impedance from High Side source and is referenced to VSS. Approximate tolerance is ±20%.
27.
The current sense amplifier is unity gain stable with a phase margin of approximately 45°. See Figure 10.

There are two elements in the RST circuit: 1) one generally lower threshold enables the internal regulator; 2) the second removes the
reset from the internal logic.

The Thermal Warning circuit does not force IC shutdown above this temperature. It is possible to set a bit in the MASK register to
generate an interrupt when overtemperature is detected, and the status bit will always indicate if any of the three individual Thermal

The power-up time of the IC depends in part on the time required for this regulator to charge up the external filter capacitors on VLS and

This parameter is guaranteed by characterization, not production tested.
These delays include all logic delays except deadtime. All internal logic is synchronous with the internal clock. The total delay includes
one clock period for state machine decision block, an additional clock period for FULLON mux logic, input synchronization time and
output driver propagation delay. Subtract one clock period for operation in FULLON mode which bypasses the state machine decision
block. Synchronization time accounts for up to one clock period of variation. See Figure 6.
The maximum separation or overlap of the High and Low Side gate drives, due to propagation delays when commanding one ON and
the other OFF simultaneously, is guaranteed by design.
The output of the overtemperature comparator goes through a digital filter before generating a warning or interrupt.

Notes
43. This parameter is guaranteed by design, not production tested.
44. Maximum duty cycle is actually 100% because there is an internal charge pump to maintain the gate voltage in the 100% on condition.
However, in high duty cycle cases, there may not be sufficient time to recharge the bootstrap capacitors during the off time. Large
bootstrap capacitors will allow high duty cycles to be obtained for a short time. For applications needing closer to 100% duty cycle,
external diodes may optionally be used to provide high peak current charging capability to the bootstrap capacitors. These diodes would
be connected between VLS and the Px_BOOTSTRAP pins. In applications with lower gate charge requirements, the maximum duty
cycle can also be increased.
45. A Minimum Deadtime of 0.0 can be set via an SPI command. When Deadtime is set via a DEADTIME command, a minimum of 1 clock
cycle duration and a maximum of 255 clock cycles is set using the internal time base clock as a reference. Commands exceeding this
value limits at this value.
46. Blanking time, tBLANK, is applied to all phases simultaneously when switching ON any output FET. This precludes false errors due to
system noise during the switching event.
47. Without considering any offsets such as input offset voltage, internal mismatch and assuming no tolerance error in external resistors.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The 33937 provides an interface between an MCU and the
large FETs used to drive three phase loads. A typical load
FET may have an on resistance of 4.0 mΩ or less and could
require a gate charge of over 400 nC to fully turn on. The IC
can operate in automotive 12 to 42 V environments.
Because there are so many methods of controlling three
phase systems, the IC enforces few constraints on driving the
FETs. It does provide deadtime (cross-over) blanking and
logic, both of which can be overridden, ensuring both FETs in
a phase are not simultaneously enabled.
An SPI port is used to configure the IC modes.
FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
PHASE A (PHASEA)
This pin is the totem pole output of the Phase A
comparator. This output is low when the voltage on Phase A
High Side source (source of the High Side load FET) is less
than 50 percent of VSUP.
If the charge pump is not required this pin may be left
floating.
VSUP INPUT (VSUP)
This pin is power ground for the charge pump. It should be
connected to VSS, however routing to a single point ground
on the PCB may help to isolate charge pump noise.
The supply voltage pin should be connected to the
common connection of the High Side FETs. It is the reference
bias for the Phase Comparators and Desaturation
Comparator. It is also used to provide power to the internal
steady state trickle charge pump and to energize the hold off
circuit.
ENABLE 1 AND ENABLE 2 (EN1, EN2)
PHASE B (PHASEB)
Both of these logic signal inputs must be high to enable
any gate drive output. When either or both are low, the
internal logic (SPI port, etc.) still functions normally, but all
gate drives are forced off (external power FET gates pulled
low). The signal is asynchronous.
When EN1 and EN2 return high to enable the outputs,
each LS driver must be pulsed on before the corresponding
HS driver can be commanded on. This ensures that the
bootstrap capacitors are charged.
This pin is the totem pole output of the Phase B
comparator. This output is low when the voltage on Phase B
High Side source (source of the High Side load FET) is less
than 50 percent of VSUP.
POWER GROUND (PGND)
RESET (RST)
When the reset pin is low the integrated circuit (IC) is in a
low power state. In this mode all outputs are disabled, internal
bias circuits are turned off, and a small pull-down current is
applied to the output gate drives. The internal logic will be
reset within 77 ns of RESET going low. When RST is low, the
IC will consume minimal current.

comparator. This output is low when the voltage on Phase C

This input logic signal pin enables the High Side Driver for
Phase A. The signal is active low, and is pulled up by an
internal current source.
PHASE A LOW SIDE INPUT (PA_LS)
This input logic signal pin enables the Low Side Driver for
Phase A. The signal is active high, and is pulled down by an
internal current sink.
VDD VOLTAGE REGULATOR (VDD)
VDD is an internally generated 5.0 V supply. The internal
regulator provides continuous power to the IC and is a supply
reference for the SPI port. A 0.47 µF (min) decoupling
capacitor must be connected to this pin.
This regulator is intended for internal IC use and can
supply only a small (1.0 mA) external load current.

level output. A logic high indicates an over-current condition.
The Interrupt pin is a totem pole logic output. When a fault
is detected, this pin will pull high until it is cleared by
executing the Clear Interrupt command via the SPI port. The

C. This pin is an active high, and is pulled down by an internal
current sink.
This input sets the threshold level of the over-current
comparator.

resistor. They provide device substrate connections and also
the primary return path for ESD protection.
VLS REGULATOR CAPACITOR (VLS_CAP)
This connection is for a capacitor which will provide a lowimpedance for switching currents on the gate drive. A low

INTRODUCTION
VLS REGULATOR (VLS)
VLS is the gate drive power supply regulated at
approximately 15 V. This is an internally generated supply
from VPWR. It is the source for the Low Side gate drive
voltage, and also the High Side bootstrap source. A low ESR
decoupling capacitor, capable of sourcing the pulsed drive
currents, must be connected between this pin and VSS. Use
the 33937A to avoid the CAUTION on page 27 for
capacitances greater than 3.5 µF.
VPWR INPUT (VPWR)
VPWR is the power supply input for VLS and VDD. Current
flowing into this input recharges the bootstrap capacitors as
well as supplying power to the Low Side gate drivers and the
VDD regulator. An internal regulator regulates the actual gate
voltages. This pin can be connected to system battery
voltage if power dissipation is not a concern.
EXPOSED PAD (EP)
The primary function of the Exposed Pad is to conduct
heat out of the device. This pad may be connected electrically
to the substrate of the device.The device will perform as
specified with the Exposed Pad un-terminated (floating).
However, it is recommended that the Exposed Pad be
terminated to pin 29 (VSS) and the system ground.

BOOTSTRAP SUPPLY (VLS)
This is the portion of the IC providing current to recharge
the bootstrap capacitors. It also supplies the peak currents
required for the Low Side gate drivers.
The power for the gate drive circuits is provided by VLS
which is supplied from the VPWR pin. This pin can be
connected to system battery voltage and is capable of
withstanding up to the full load dump voltage of the system.
However, the IC only requires a low-voltage supply on this
pin, typically 13 to 16 V. Higher voltages on this pin will
increase the IC power dissipation.
In 12 V systems the supply voltage can fall as low as 6.0 V.
This limits the gate voltage capable of being applied to the
FETs and reduces system performance due to the higher
FET on-resistance. To allow a higher gate voltage to be
supplied, the IC also incorporates a charge pump. The
switches and control circuitry are internal; the capacitors and
diodes are external (see Figure 22).
LOW SIDE DRIVERS
These three drivers turn on and off the external Low Side
FETs. The circuits provide a low-impedance drive to the gate,
ensuring the FETs remain off in the presence of high dV/dt
transients on their drains. Additionally, these output drivers
isolate the other portions of the IC from currents capable of
being injected into the substrate due to rapid dV/dt transients
on the FET drains.
Low Side drivers switch power from VLS to the gates of the
Low Side FETs. The Low Side drivers are capable of
providing a typical peak current of 2.0 A. This gate drive
current may be limited by external resistors in order to
achieve a good trade-off between the efficiency and EMC
(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) compliance of the
application. the Low Side driver uses High Side PMOS for
turn on and Low Side isolated LDMOS for turn off. The circuit
ensures the impedance of the driver remains low, even
during periods of reduced current. Current limit is blanked
immediately after subsequent input state change in order to
ensure device stays off during dV/dt transients.
HIGH SIDE DRIVERS
These three drivers switch the voltage across the
bootstrap capacitor to the external High Side FETs. The
circuits provide a low-impedance drive to the gate, ensuring
the FETs remain off in the presence of high dV/dt transients
on their sources. Further, these output drivers isolate the
other portions of the IC from currents capable of being
injected into the substrate due to rapid dV/dt transients on the
FETs.
The High Side drivers deliver power from their bootstrap
capacitor to the gate of the external High Side FET, thus
turning the High Side FET on. The High Side driver uses a
level shifter, which allows the gate of the external High Side
FET to be turned off by switching to the High Side FET
source.
The gate supply voltage for the High Side drivers is
obtained from the bootstrap supply, so, a short time is
required after the application of power to the IC to charge the
bootstrap capacitors. To ensure this occurrence, the internal
control logic will not allow a High Side switch to be turned on
after entering the ENABLE state until the corresponding Low
Side switch is enabled at least once. Caution must be
exercised after a long period of inactivity of the Low Side
switches to verify the bootstrap capacitor is not discharged. It
will be charged by activating the Low Side switches for a brief
period, or by attaching external bleed resistors from the
HS_S pins to GND.
CAUTION for 33937 only (Use the 33937A to avoid this
CAUTION)
Using the 33937 in applications which use large value
bootstrap capacitors requires extra care to insure the
transient induced when charging fully depleted capacitors
does not cause an unintended power on reset. The 33937A
has been modified to eliminate the need for these special
considerations. Factors which affect the sensitivity to this
effect are, bootstrap capacitor size, VLS filter capacitor size,
VLS voltage and the junction temperature. The effect is more
pronounced for greater values of these parameters. It is also
more pronounced if all phases charge depleted capacitors
simultaneously. For balanced capacitance on VLS and
VLS_CAP of greater than 3.5 µF (total of 7.0 µF VLS
filtering), 1.2 µF bootstrap capacitance on each phase could
cause a POR at room temperature with VLS at 13 V. At the
worst case conditions of 15.4 V VLS voltage and 150°C
junction temperature, with the same total VLS capacitance of
7.0 µF, approximately 0.3 µF total (0.1µF each) on Px_BOOT
could cause the same effect. Since this characteristic is
intrinsic to the bootstrap diode integrated on the device, a
valid solution to prevent an undesired reset during
initialization would be to use external diodes between VLS
and the Px_BOOT pin.

FUNCTIONAL INTERNAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION
In order to achieve a 100% duty cycle operation of the High
Side external FETs, a fully integrated trickle charge pump
provides the charge necessary to maintain the external FET
gates at fully enhanced levels. The trickle charge pump has
limited ability to supply external leakage paths while
performing it’s primary function. The graphs in Figures 11
through 14 beginning on page 20 show the typical margin for
supplying external current loads. These limits are based on
maintaining the voltage at CBOOT at least 3.0 V greater than
the voltage on the HS_S for that phase. If this voltage
differential becomes less than 3.0 V, the corresponding high
side FET will most likely not remain fully enhanced and the
high side driver may malfunction due to insufficient bias
voltage between CBOOT and HS_S.
The slew rate of the external output FET is limited by the
driver output impedance, overall (external and internal) gate
resistance and the load capacitance. To ensure the Low Side
FET is not turned on by a large positive dV/dt on the drain of
the Low Side FET, the turn-on slew rate of the High Side
should be limited. If the slew rate of the High Side is limited
by the gate-drain capacitance of the High Side FET, then the
displacement current injected into the Low Side gate drive
output will be approximately the same value. Therefore, to
ensure the Low Side drivers can be held off, the voltage drop
across the Low Side gate driver must be lower than the
threshold voltage of the Low Side FET (see Figure 17).
Similarly, during large negative dV/dt, the High Side FET
will be able to remain off if its gate drive Low Side switch,
develops a voltage drop less than the threshold voltage of the
High Side FET. The gate drive Low Side switch discharges
the gate to the source.
Additionally, during negative dV/dt the Low Side gate drive
could be forced below ground. The Low Side FETs must not
inject detrimental substrate currents in this condition.
The occurrence of these cases depends on the polarity of
the load current during switching.

DRIVER FAULT PROTECTION
The 33937 IC integrates several protection mechanisms
against various faults. The first of them is the Current Sense
Amplifier with the Over-current Comparator. These two
blocks are common for all three driver phases.
Current Sense Amplifier
This amplifier is usually connected as a differential
amplifier (see Figure 9). It senses a current flowing through
the external FETs as a voltage across the current sense
resistor RSENSE. Since the amplifier common mode range
does not extend below ground, it is necessary to use an
external reference to permit measuring both positive and
negative currents.
The amplifier output can be monitored directly (e.g. by the
microcontroller’s ADC) at the AMP_OUT pin, providing the
means for closed loop control with the 33937.
The output voltage is internally compared with the Overcurrent Comparator threshold voltage (see Figure 22).
Over-current Comparator
The amplified voltage across RSENSE is compared with the
pre-set threshold value by the over-current comparator input.
If the Current Sense Amplifier output voltage exceeds the
threshold of the Over-current Comparator it would change
the status of its output (OC_OUT pin) and the fault condition
would be latched (see Figure 20).
The occurrence of this fault would be signalled by the
return value of the Status Register 0. If the proper Interrupt
Mask has been set, this fault condition will generate an

interrupt - the INT pin will be asserted High. The INT will be
held in the High state until the fault is removed, and the
appropriate bit in the Status Register 0 is cleared by the
CLINT0 command. This fault reporting technique is
described in detail in the Logic Commands and Registers
section.
Valid faults are registered in the fault status register, which
can be retrieved by way of the SPI. Additional SPI commands
will mask the INT flag and disable output stage shutdown,
due to desaturation and phase errors. See the Logic
Commands and Registers section for details on masking INT
behavior and disabling the protective function.
Desaturation Detector
The Desaturation Detector is a comparator integrated into
the output driver of each phase channel. It provides an
additional means to protect against “Short-to-Ground” fault
condition when the output node gets shorted to the supply
voltage (short across the High Side FET).

When switching from Low Side to High Side, the High Side
will be commanded ON after the end of the deadtime. The
deadtime period starts when the Low Side is commanded
OFF. If the voltage at Px_HS_S is less than 1.4V below VSUP
after the blanking time (tBLANK) a desaturation fault is
initiated. An additional 1.0 μs digital filter is applied from the
initiation of the desaturation fault before it is registered, and
all phase drivers are turned OFF (Px_HS_G clamped to
Px_HS_S and Px_LS_G clamped to Px_LS_S). If the
desaturation fault condition clears before the filter time
expires, the fault is ignored and the filter timer resets.
Phase Comparator
Faults could also be detected as Phase Errors. A phase
error is generated if the output signal (at Px_HS_S) does not
properly reflect the drive conditions.
A phase error is detected by a Phase Comparator. The
Phase Comparator compares the voltage at the Px_HS_S
node with a reference of one half the voltage at the VSUP pin.
A High Side phase error (which will also trigger the
Desaturation Detector) occurs when the High Side FET is
commanded on, and Px_HS_S is still low at the end of the
deadtime and blanking time duration. Similarly, a LS phase
error occurs when the Low Side FET is commanded on, and
the Px_HS_S is still high at the end of the deadtime and
blanking time duration.
The Phase Error Flag is the triple OR of phase errors from
each phase. Each phase error is the OR of the High Side and
Low Side phase errors. This flag can generate an interrupt if

the appropriate mask bit is set. The INT will be held in the
High state until the fault is removed, and the appropriate bit
in the Status Register 0 is cleared by the CLINT1 command.
This fault reporting mechanism is described in detail in the
Logic Commands and Registers section.
HOLD OFF CIRCUIT
The IC guarantees the output FETs are turned off in the
absence of VDD or VPWR by means of the Hold off circuit. A
small current source, generated from VSUP, typically
100 µA, is mirrored and pulls all the output gate drive pins low
when VDD is less than about 3.0 V, RST is active (low), or
when VLS is lower than the VLS_Disable threshold. A
minimum of approximately 3.0 V is required on VSUP to
energize the Hold off circuit.
CHARGE PUMP
The Charge Pump circuit provides the basic switching
elements required to implement a charge pump, when
combined with external capacitors and diodes for enhanced
low voltage operation.
When the 33937 is connected per the typical application
using the charge pump (see Figure 22), the regulation path
for VLS includes the charge pump and a linear regulator. The
regulation set point for the linear regulator is nominally at
15.34 V. As long as VLS output voltage (VLSOUT) is greater
than the VLS analog regulator threshold (VLSATH) minus
VTHREG, the charge pump is not active.
If VLSOUT < VLSATH – VTHREG the charge pump turns ON
until VLSOUT > VLSATH – VTHREG + VHYST
VHYST is approximately 200 mV. VLSATH will not interfere
with this cycle even when there is overlap in the thresholds,
due to the design of the regulator system.
The maximum current the charge pump can supply is
dependent on the pump capacitor value and quality, the
pump frequency (nominally 130 kHz), and the Rdson of the
pump FETs. The effective charge voltage for the pump
capacitor would be VSYS – 2 * VDIODE. The total charge
transfer would then be CPUMP * (VSYS – 2*VDIODE).
Multiplying by the switch frequency gives the theoretical
current the pump can transfer: FPUMP * CPUMP * (VSYS –
2*VDIODE).
NOTE: There is also another smaller, fully integrated
charge pump (Trickle Charge Pump - see Figure 2), which is
used to maintain the High Side drivers’ gate VGS in 100
percent duty cycle modes.

OPERATIONAL MODES
RESET AND ENABLE
The 33937 has three power modes of operation described
in Table 5. There are three global control inputs (RST, EN1,
EN2), which together with the status of the VDD and VLS,
control the behavior of the IC.
The operating status of the IC can be described by the
following three modes:
Sleep Mode - When RST is low, the IC is in Sleep mode.
The current consumption of the IC is at minimum.
• Standby Mode - The RST input is high while one of the
Enable inputs is low. The IC is fully biased up and
operating, all the external FETs are actively turned off
by both High Side and Low Side gate drives. The IC is
ready to enter the Enable mode.
• Enable Mode - In order to enter the Enable mode
(normal mode of operation), and to operate the outputs,
the RST input must be high, and both Enable inputs
EN1 and EN2 must also be high.

Sleep Mode - in this mode (low quiescent current) the driver output stage is switched-off with a weak pull-down. All error
and SPI registers are cleared. The internal 5.0 V regulator is turned off and VDD is pulled low. All logic outputs except
SO are clamped to VSS.

Standby Mode - IC fully biased up and all functions are operating, the output drivers actively turn off all of the external
FETs (after initialization). The SPI port is functional. Logic level outputs are driven with low impedance. SO is high
impedance unless CS is low. VDD, Charge Pump and VLS regulators are all operating. The IC is ready to move to Enable
Mode.

Enable Mode - (normal operation). Drivers are enabled; output stages follow the input command. After Enable, outputs
require a pulse on Px_LS before corresponding HS outputs will turn on in order to charge the bootstrap capacitor. All
error pin and register bits are active if detected.
• After entry to Enable Mode, the IC requires a pulse on
Px_LS in order to charge the bootstrap capacitor before
allowing the Px_HS to turn on. This pulse should be
long enough to guarantee the bootstrap capacitor is
charged (typically less than 50 µs), but the IC does not
enforce this condition. If there is an alternate means of
pre-charging the bootstrap capacitor, i.e. an external
resistor from Px_HS_S to GND, then a very brief pulse
of 100 ns is sufficient to reset the logic.

LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS
The IC contains internal registers to control the various
operating parameters, modes, and interrupt characteristics.
These commands are sent and status is read via 8-bit SPI
commands. The IC will use the last eight bits in an SPI
transfer, so devices can be daisy-chained. The first three bits
in an SPI word can be considered to be the Command with
the trailing five bits being the data.
The SPI logic will generate a framing error and ignore the
SPI message if the number of received bits is not eight or if it
is not a multiple of eight.
After RST, the first SPI result returned is Status Register 0.

DEADTIME
Set deadtime with calibration technique. Returns Status Register 0.
FAULT REPORTING AND INTERRUPT
GENERATION
Different fault conditions described in the previous
chapters can generate an interrupt - INT pin output signal
asserted high. When an interrupt occurs, the source can be
read from Status Register 0, which is also the return word of
most SPI messages.
Faults are latched on occurrence, and the interrupt and
faults are only cleared by sending the corresponding CLINTx
command. A fault that still exists will continue to assert an
interrupt.
Note: If there are multiple pending interrupts, the INT line
will not toggle when one of the faults is cleared. Interrupt
processing circuitry on the host must be level sensitive to
correctly detect multiple simultaneous interrupt.
Thus, when an interrupt occurs, the host can query the IC
by sending a NULL command; the return word contains flags
indicating any faults not cleared since the CLINTx command
was last written (rising edge of CS) and the beginning of the
current SPI command (falling edge of CS). The NULL
command causes no changes to the state of any of the fault
or mask bits.
The logic clearing the fault latches occurs only when:
1. A valid command had been received(i.e. no framing
error);
2. A state change did not occur during the SPI message
(if the bit is being returned as a 0 and a fault change
occurs during the middle of the SPI message, the latch
will remain set). The latch is cleared on the trailing
(rising) edge of the CS pulse. Note, to prevent missing
any faults the CLINTx command should not generally
clear any faults without being observed; i.e. it should
only clear faults returned in the prior NULL response.

This is the mask for interrupts. A bit set to “1” enables the corresponding interrupt. Because of the number of MASK bits, this

CLINT0 and CLINT1 have the same format as MASK0 and MASK1 respectively, but the action is to clear the interrupt latch

VLS under-voltage generates an interrupt if this bit is set.
MASK0:3
Over-current Error–if the over-current comparator threshold is exceeded, an interrupt is generated.
MASK1:0
Phase Error–if any Phase comparator output is not at the expected value when an output is command on, an interrupt is
generated. This signal is the XOR of the phase comparator output with the output drive state, and blacked for the duration
of the desaturation blanking interval.
In FULLON mode, this signal is blanked and cannot generate an error.
MASK1:1
Framing Error–if a framing error occurs, an interrupt is generated.
MASK1:2
Write Error after locking.
MASK1:3
Reset Event–If the IC is reset or disabled, an interrupt occurs. Since the IC will always start from a reset condition, this can
be used to test the interrupt mechanism because when the IC comes out of RESET, an interrupt will immediately occur.

• Bit 0–Mode Lock is used to enable or disable Mode Lock. If Bit 0 is set, changes to the internal registers are disallowed
to prevent inadvertent changes. This bit cannot be cleared once set. Since the mode Lock mode can only be set, this bit
prevents any subsequent, and likely erroneous, mode, deadtime, or mask register changes from being received. The only
way to clear this bit is to RESET the IC. If an attempt is made to write to a register when Mode Lock is enabled, a Write
Error fault is generated.
• Bit 1–FULLON Mode. If this bit is set, programmed deadtime control is disabled, making it is possible to have both high
and Low Side drivers in a phase on simultaneously. This could be useful in special applications such as alternator
regulators, or switched-reluctance motor drive applications. There is no deadtime control in FULLON mode. Input signals
directly control the output stages, synchronized with the internal clock.
This bit is a “0”, after RESET. Until overwritten, the IC operates normally; deadtime control and logic prevents both outputs
from being turned on simultaneously.
• Bit 3– Desaturation Fault Mode controls what happen when a desaturation event is detected. When set to “0”, any
desaturation on any channel causes all six output drivers to shutoff. The drivers can only be re-enabled by executing the
CLINT command. When 1, desaturation faults are completely ignored.
Bit 3 controls behavior if a Desaturation, or Phase Error event is detected. The possibilities are:
— 0: Default: When a Desaturation, or Phase Error event is detected on any channel, all channels turn off and generates
an Interrupt, if interrupts are enabled.
— 1: Disable: Desaturation /Phase Error channel shutdown is disabled, but interrupts are still possible if unmasked.
Sending a MODE command and setting the Mode Lock simultaneously are allowed. This sets the requested mode and locks out any further
changes.

LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
DEADTIME COMMAND
the deadtime register. Until the next deadtime calibration is
performed, 30 clock cycles will separate the turn off and turn
on gate signals in the same phase. The worst case error
immediately after calibration will be +0/-1 time base cycle, for
this example +0 ns/-50 ns. Note that if the internal time base
drifts, the effect on dead time will scale directly.
Sending a ZERO DEADTIME command (100x xxx0) sets
the deadtime timer to 0. However, simultaneous turn-on of
High Side and Low Side FETs in the same phase is still
prevented unless the FULLON command has been
transmitted. There is no calibration pulse expected after
receiving the ZERO DEADTIME command.
After RESET, deadtime is set to the maximum value of 255
time base cycles (typically 15 µs).
The IC ignores any SPI data that is sent during the
calibration pulse. If there are any transitions on SI or SCLK
while the Deadtime CS pulse is low, a Framing Error will be
generated, however, the CS pulse will be used to calibrate
the deadtime
Deadtime prevents the turn-on of both transistors in the
same phase until the deadtime has expired. The deadtime
timer starts when a FET is commanded off (see Figure 6 and
Figure 16). The deadtime control is disabled by enabling the
FULLON mode.
The deadtime is set by sending the DEADTIME command
(100x xxx1), and then sending a calibration pulse of CS. This
pulse must be 16 times longer than the required deadtime
(see Figure 21). Deadtime is measured in cycle times of the
internal time base, fTB. This measurement is divided by 16
and stored in an internal register to provide the reference for
timing the deadtime between high and low gate transactions
in the same phase.
For example: the internal time base is running at 20 MHz
and a 1.5 µs deadtime is required. First a DEADTIME
command is sent (using the SPI), then a CS is sent. The CS
pulse is 16*1.5 = 24 µs wide. The IC measures this pulse as
24000 ns/50 ns = 480 clock cycles and stores 480/16 = 30 in

LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
STATUS REGISTERS
Other commands return a general status word in the Status
Register 0.
There are four Status Registers in the IC. Status
Register 0 is most commonly used for general status.
Registers one through three are used to read or confirm
internal IC settings.
After any SPI command, the status of the IC is reported in
the return value from the SPI port. There are four variants of
the NULL command used to read various status in the IC.
Status Register 0 (Status Latch Bits)
This register is read by sending the NULL0 command (000x xx00). It is also returned after any other command. This command
returns the following data:

All status bits are latched. The latches are cleared only by sending a CLINT0 or CLINT1 command with the appropriate bits
set. If the status is still present, that bit will not clear. CLINT0 and CLINT1 have the same format as MASK0 and MASK1
respectively.
• Bit 0–is a flag for Over-temperature on any channel. This bit is the OR of the latched three internal TLIM detectors.This
flag can generate an interrupt if the appropriate mask bit is set.
• Bit 1–is a flag for Desaturation Detection on any channel. This bit is the OR of the latched three internal High Side
desaturation detectors and phase error logic. Faults are also detected on the Low Side as phase errors. A phase error is
generated if the output signal (at Px_HS_S) does not properly reflect the drive conditions. The phase error is the triple OR
of phase errors from each phase. Each phase error is the OR of the HS and LS phase errors. An HS phase error (which
will also trigger the desaturation detector) occurs when the HS FET is commanded on, and the Px_HS_S is still low in the
deadtime duration after it is driven ON. Similarly, a LS phase error occurs when the LS FET is commanded on, and the
Px_HS_S is still high in the deadtime duration after the FET is driven ON. This flag can generate an interrupt if the
appropriate mask bit is set.
• Bit 2– is a flag for Low Supply Voltage. This bit is latched, thus a prior low voltage event is returned once before being
cleared on read. This flag can generate an interrupt if the appropriate mask bit is set.
• Bit 3–is a flag for the output of the Over-current Comparator. This flag can generate an interrupt if the appropriate mask
bit is set.
• Bit 4–is a flag for a Phase Error. If any Phase comparator output is not at the expected value when just one of the
individual high or Low Side outputs is enabled, the fault flag is set. This signal is the XOR of the phase comparator output
with the output driver state, and blanked for the duration of the desaturation blanking interval. This flag can generate an
interrupt if the appropriate mask bit is set.
• Bit 5–is a flag for a Framing Error. A framing error is an SPI message not containing a multiple of eight bits (a 0-length
message is also a framing error on 33937A). SCLK toggling while measuring the Deadtime calibration pulse is also a
framing error. This would typically be a transient or permanent hardware error, perhaps due to noise on the SPI lines. This
flag can generate an interrupt if the appropriate mask bit is set.
• Bit 6–indicates a Write Error After the Lock bit is set. A write error is any attempted write to the MASKn, Mode, or a
Deadtime command after the Mode Lock bit is set. A write error is any attempt to write any other command than the one
defined in the Table 7. This would typically be a software error. This flag can generate an interrupt if the appropriate mask
bit is set.
• Bit 7–is set upon exiting RST. It can be used to test the interrupt mechanism or to flag for a condition where the IC gets
reset without the host being otherwise aware. This flag can generate an interrupt if the appropriate mask bit is set.

IC Initialization
Here is a possible flow to initialize the IC and its software environment.
1. Apply power (VSYS) to module
1.1. With RST still low, VSUP and VSYS current will be low because it will only be leakage and the small hold off bias
current.
2. Remove RST (EN1 and EN2 are still low)
2.1. When RST rises above the threshold, the IC will power-up. The charge pump (if configured) will start, and VPWR and
VLS will stabilize.
2.2. VDD will rise as the internal regulator charges the external reservoir capacitor and the IC will come out of reset.
2.3. Initialize interrupt handler for MCU
2.4. Interrupt will occur because of the RESET (Interrupt processing will occur here)
3. Initialize registers
3.1. Initialize MASK register by sending 0010 xxxx or 0011 xxxx to mask out unwanted interrupts.
3.2. Set desired dead time either by commanding zero dead time or calibrating the dead time.
3.3. Send MODE command with desired bits, and also the Lock bit. e.g. 01000001. This prevents further mode changes.
4. Bring EN1 & EN2 high
5. Initialize the outputs
5.1. Command all Px_LS and Px_HS to logic 1 simultaneously (command ON Low Side, sequentially switching the phases
will reduce the transient with very large bootstrap capacitors and may prevent an unintended reset)
5.2. Command all Px_LS and Px_HS to logic 0 simultaneously (command ON High Side)
5.3. Command all Px_LS and Px_HS to logic 1 simultaneously (command ON Low Side)
5.4. The device is now ready for operation.
MAIN LOOP
1. While (forever)
1.1. Send SPI messages (except NULL1-3), read results
1.2. If sending NULL1-3 messages, use a semaphore to detect interrupts
1.2.1. Set Semaphore flag in RAM
1.2.2. Send NULL1-3
1.2.3. Send NULL0, read SR1-3
1.2.4. If Semaphore is still set, then result is good, else go to 1.2.1 (because an interrupt has gotten in the way)
1.2.5. Clear semaphore
2. END
Interrupt Handler
When an interrupt occurs, the general procedure is to send NULL0 and NULL1 commands to determine what happened, take
corrective action (if needed), clear the fault and return.
Because the return value from an SPI command is actually returned in the subsequent message, main-loop software that tries
to read SR1, SR2 or SR3, may experience an interrupt between sending the SPI command and the subsequent read. Thus if
these registers are to be read, special care must be taken in the software to ensure that the correct results are being interpreted.
1. Interrupt Service Routine:
1.1. Disable further interrupts from the 33937
1.2. Clear semaphore set in 1.2.1 of Main loop. This indicates to the main loop that an interrupt occurred and that the
return value it gets may not be as expected.
1.3. Send NULL0 Command. Ignore return value (the previous command is unknown)
1.4. Send NULL0 Command. The return value will be SR0 from the previous NULL0 command
2. Process Bits in SR0 and correct any faults
3. Send CLINT0 command to clear known (i.e. processed faults from SR0) faults 0:3
4. Send CLINT1 command to clear processed faults 4:7. Note, the return SR0 register from this command is actually read in
the main routine.
5. Re-enable interrupts from the 33937
6. Return

Figure 24. Power Dissipation Profile of Application Using Charge Pump
Reference application with:
• Pump capacitor: 1.0 μF MLC
• Pump filter capacitor: 47 μF low ESR aluminum electrolytic
• Pump diodes: MUR120
• Output FET gate charge: 240 nC @ 10 V
• PWM Frequency: 20 kHz
• Switching Single Phase
Below approximately 17 V the charge pump is actively regulating VPWR. The increased power dissipation is due to the charge
pump losses. Above this voltage the charge pump oscillator shuts down and VSYS is passed through the pump diodes directly to
VPWR.

Reference application with:
• Output FET gate charge: 240 nC @ 10 V
• PWM Frequency: 20 kHz
• Switching Single Phase
• No connections to PUMP or VPUMP
• VPWR connected to VSYS
If VPWR is supplied by a separate pre-regulator, the power dissipation profile will be nearly flat at the value of the pre-regulator
voltage for all VSYS voltages.
