DLPU048E August 2016 – July 2024
The DLPC230-Q1 main application performs an emergency shutdown when a serious system error occurs such as losing communication with a chipset signal interface. The specific errors that caused the shutdown can be retrieved from the Error History command unless the error has caused a system reset. If the error has caused a system reset, the System Information command can be used to read the cause of the last reset. If the error has not caused a system reset, other errors may occur as a side-effect of the failure mechanism that caused the emergency shutdown. These side-effect errors will also be included in the error history if possible.
The actions that are taken by the DLPC230-Q1 main application for an emergency shutdown are:
To recover from an emergency shutdown, the system will require a full power cycle using the PROJ_ON signal to the TPS99000-Q1. Details on PROJ_ON signal timing requirements can be found in the DLPC230-Q1 Data Sheet and the TPS99000-Q1 Data Sheet. The host should attempt to obtain the Error History from the DLPC230-Q1 prior to this full reset.
Section 6.4 defines tests performed and notes those that may result in an emergency shutdown. During operation, the Short Status should be checked periodically for any errors including those that cause emergency shutdown.
