A multiplexer switches critical analog and digital signals to the DIAG_OUT pin for monitoring by the MCU. The DIAG_CFG_CTRL and DIAG_MUX_SEL registers program the multiplexer.
Connecting the DIAG_OUT output pin to the MCU ADC input provides redundant monitoring of safety-critical supply voltages.
The analog MUX (AMUX) and digital MUX (DMUX) facilitates external pin interconnect tests by feeding back the input pin state, internal module self-test status, or safety-critical comparator output.
Refer to the data sheet for details on using the DIAG_OUT pin for AMUX and DMUX.
When enabling the DIAG_OUT MUX while using SPI communication: the SDO is not in the high-impedance state while the NCS pin is HIGH and the DIAG_OUT MUX is enabled. Software or hardware modification may be required. For hardware modifications, check the SDO threshold level and drive capability if resistors are used to adjust the voltage level of the SDO pin on the SPI bus.
