Regarding fault conditions of VNH5019A-E

Journey

0693W00000D23acQAB.jpgHi, I'm trying to control a motor with VNH5019A-E

https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/vnh5019a-e.pdf

The Motor specification​s are as follows

Operating Voltage : 9 ~ 16V

Inrush(Stall) Current at 12V : 16A

​I have a question about the following.

1) OUTx is shorted to ground (apply short circuit)

: Fault is not detected at 9V (The motor is moving abnormally little by little : I think current limit works)

The Fault is detected from 10V

2) OUTx is shorted to Vcc (apply short circuit : power supply Vcc)

: Without any control of the motor (INA = INB = 0)

The Fault is not detected at 9V (Up to the maximum current a power supply can supply)

The Fault is not detected at 12V, but the current does not increase rapidly.

(DIAGx/ENx signal outputs as shown below) after that motor runs for a while, after that ​DIAGx/ENx signal goes to low.

At 16V, After the motor moves(without any motor control) and then The Fault is detected with motor stop (DIAGx/ENx)

I think the value of Isd_ls is too big that it can't detect without motor movement. is it right?

​I want to detect short to Vcc without motor movement.

The Operating range is 9V ~ 16V, What should I check to detect Fault conditions?

If the driver selection is wrong, please help me with which part to correct.

Thank you
