PRODUCTION DATA.
The burn-out current sources are used to detect the occurrence of sensor burn-out or break. If the sensor or sensor connection is open, the currents drive either or both positive and negative PGA inputs to opposite supply voltages where the occurrence of an open sensor is detected by the PGA monitors or detected by the host for out-of-range (or clipped) conversion data.
Figure 18 shows the burn-out currents connect at the output of the analog input multiplexer. The currents sink and source, and are configurable in pullup or pulldown mode. In pullup mode, the sourcing current connects to the positive input channel and the sinking current connects to the negative input channel. In this configuration, an open circuit pulls the inputs to positive full scale. The currents are Off, 0.050 µA, 0.2 µA, 1 µA, and 10 µA. See the Burn-Out Current Source section for application information.
