The shared voltage reference module (VREF) in these devices contain a configurable voltage reference buffer, which allows users to supply a stable reference to on-board analog peripherals. VREF also supports bringing in an external reference for applications where higher accuracy is required. VREF features include:
The following tests can be applied as functional safety mechanisms for this module (to provide diagnostic coverage on a specific function):
Safety Mechanism | Description | Faults/Failure modes |
---|---|---|
ADC4 | ADC window comparator | If ADC is using the internal reference, faults in the VREF can result in ADC results being out of range. These failure modes can be detected using the window comparator in ADC. |
COMP3 | External pin input to COMP | If the comparator uses the internal reference, then the test which checks the comparator function also provides coverage of the faults in the internal reference. |
REF1 | Periodic software readback of static configuration registers | Targets the static configuration registers in comparator. |
REF2 | VREF to ADC reference input | VREF can be tested as part of test which checks the ADC functioning by choosing to use the internal reference for the ADC test. |
