So the blocks are quite straight forward.
Supply voltages in the front, controller in the middle, Power stage and sensors on the output side.
However i added a over-current and a shutdown block in the middle.
The thought is that if i force the HIGH-side mosfet low eg. off, i wont be able to do anything with the motor except maybe braking.
Thus in a overcurrent event, or when i pull the enable, the motor will stop producing torque no matter what.
Also the Drive enable ... a key or emergency off switch will be directly connected to the shutdown. (Drive_Enable and Enable_PWR will be directly connected, the µC will only be able to read the signal)
Drive_Enable = Low then means shutdown of the output stage via hardware. So no fear of acceleration in case of software bugs.
