The OPA has a burnout current source (BCS) that can be used when requested by the ADC. The ADC will provide a burnout current source enable signal to the OPA peripheral when it is selected as the ADC input channel and the BCSEN bit is set in the ADC MEMCTL register. When enabled, the burnout current source will inject current into the positive input of the OPA. The ADC should then be used to measure the voltage across the sensor or resistive Wheatstone bridge with the input signal going through the OPA configured in buffer mode (or whichever OPA configuration is normally used). An ADC reading with the burnout current source enabled can then detect if the sensor is open (that is, a broken wire resulting in full range signal) or shorted (0 V). The user can periodically enable the burnout current source to check if the sensor is operating properly. It should be turned off during measurements.
