6.3.8 Diagnostic and Protection in FAIL-SAFE states

In FAIL-SAFE state, the TPS929160-Q1 also detects all failures and reports the status out by ERR or FLAG registers. Table 6-8 lists the summary of the fault detection criteria and the device behavior after the fault is detected. Basically, the TPS929160-Q1 actively takes the action to turn off the failed output channels, retry on the failed channels, or restart the device to keep device operating without controlled by master. The EEPROM register OFAF can be used to set the fault behavior for LED open-circuit, LED short-circuit and single-LED short-circuit faults. The one-fails-all-fail behavior is selected when the register OFAF is burnt to 1; otherwise, the one-fails-others-on behavior is chosen. The TPS929160-Q1 turns off all output channels when any type of LED fault is detected on any one of output channels for one-fails-all-fail behavior. On the other hand, the TPS929160-Q1 only turns off the failed channel and keeps all other normal channels on.

In FAIL-SAFE state, the fault flag registers of TPS929160-Q1 still can be accessed again through FlexWire interface in case the communication is rebuilt.
