This document is provided as a supplement to the DRV11873 data sheet. It details how the DRV11873 can falsely detect a locked rotor and the recommended workaround procedures.The DRV11873 is an integrated device providing the benefits of low cost, low size, and ease of use. Under certain conditions, it has been determined that the lock detection mechanism can detect a locked rotor condition that is not real. If a locked rotor condition is incorrectly detected, the DRV11873 will stop driving the motor, wait for some time, and then re-start.
