During power up in the DIAGNOSTICS state, the LDC5071-Q1 undergoes a number of self-diagnostics and checks (for
fault thresholds refer to Diagnostics and for deglitch times refer to Switching Characteristics):
- EEPROM CRC check: the LDC5071-Q1 calculates the CRC value of the EEPROM register settings and compares that value to the recorded expected CRC value. In case of FAULT, the LDC5071-Q1 transitions to the DISABLED state.
- LBIST check: the LDC5071-Q1 undergoes automated self-testing pattern for the digital logic. In case of FAULT, the LDC5071-Q1 transitions to the DISABLED state.
- ABIST check: the LDC5071-Q1 undergoes automated self-testing pattern for the fault-monitoring circuits. In case of FAULT, the LDC5071-Q1 transitions to the DISABLED state.
- Sensor interface BIST check: the LDC5071-Q1 applies the automated test patterns to Sensor interface (LCIN, LCOUT, IN0P, IN0N, IN1P, and IN1N) pins to check that they are open or shorted to GND or battery. The sensor interface BIST check also checks if there is a short between the coils of the sensor and if any of the coils are open. The LDC5071-Q1 will also check if any impedance is present as specified by the RAGC_EN_AUTO or RPU_AGC_EN on the AGC_EN pin and check if the AGC_EN pin is not shorted to GND.
- VREG capacitor loss check: the LDC5071-Q1 uses the VREG
capacitor to compare the internal time constant with the external time constant
(5-V VCC mode only). This check is only performed at power up and is not
performed if the device transitions from FAULT state to DIAGNOSTICS state. The
maximum capacitance on VREG pin that can trigger this fault is given by
CLOSS_VREG.
- The LDC5071-Q1 enables the LC oscillator and checks that VUVL_AMP_LC, VOVH_AMP_LC, VUVL_CM_LC, and VOVH_CM_LC faults disappear within tLC_FLT_DT.
- The LDC5071-Q1 enables the AFE, AGC, and Output stages in a staggered manner.
- The LDC5071-Q1 the device resets all checks and faults for certain period of time to allow all internal signals to settle and then starts monitor faults
- The LDC5071-Q1 transitions to the Normal state ensuring that tPRWR_ON is met and no other faults are detected. In AUTO AGC mode, the LDC5071-Q1 also checks that the output of the AGC block is within AGC_Target. If the AGC block is not within AGC_Target, the devices transitions to the DISABLED state.
