7.4.7 Limp-Home Mode

The TPS92520-Q1 enters the limp-home mode after detecting three consecutive watchdog timeout events or when the LHSW bit is set high in the SYSCFG1 register. In limp-home mode, the device sets the operation based on the SPI-programmable LH-registers (register address 0x1E to 0x2D). The limp-home registers must be programmed upon the initialization of the device in load mode.

The LED current reference can be programmed through the LHxIADJ registers or set by external voltage measured at the LHI pin by the ADC. To enable LED control by the LHI pin, set the LHEXTIADJ bit in the LHCFG1 register to "1". Equation 14 expresses the relationship between the LED current and voltage at the LHI pin, VLHI.

Equation 14. GUID-A1143B51-14DD-4A47-A456-459D2F4AE026-low.gif

The LHI voltage measured by the ADC is converted to a 10-bit value and stored in the LHI registers. An internal digital low pass filter attenuates any switching noise coupled to the LHI pin. The output of the filter is stored in the LHIFILT registers.

When the external LHI pin is selected as the LED current reference, an LHI pin voltage below 148 mV disables both channels and turns off the LEDs. In this condition, the device ensures that no light output is generated for the associated channels. The LHI pin voltage has to exceed 200 mV to enable both channels. The hysteresis rejects external noise on LHI pin and avoids light flickering.

To exit limp-home mode, the contents of STATUS3 register must be read to clear the CMWTO bits followed by a write command to set the LHSW bit in the SYSCFG1 register to "0".
