The Power Drive Protection Interrupt (PDPINT) pin is a safety feature that is built into all TMS320C24? DSPs. This feature protects the electrical drive from damage due to any electrical, mechanical or thermal abnormalities. When this pin is driven low externally, all the PWM outputs are put in a high impedance state, thereby protecting the electrical drive from further damage. A proper understand
