The TPS65381x-Q1 device is intended for use in automotive and industrial safety-relevant applications. The following list of monitoring and protection blocks are those that improve the diagnostic coverage and decrease the undetected fault rate:
- Voltage monitor (VMON)
- Analog built-in self-test (ABIST) diagnostics for safety analog blocks
- Logic built-in self-test (LBIST) for safety controller functions
- Loss-of-clock monitor (LCMON)
- Junction temperature monitoring (overtemperature)
- Current-limit for all power supplies with integrated FETs
- Analog MUX (AMUX) for externally monitored diagnostics and debug
- Digital MUX (DMUX) for externally monitored diagnostics and debug
- Watchdog configurable for trigger mode (open and close window) or question and answer mode
- MCU error signal monitor (ESM) for monitoring the error output from functional safety architecture MCUs
- Controlled and protected enable output (ENDRV) for external power stages or peripheral wakeup
- Device configuration register CRC protection
- EEPROM analog trim content CRC protection
- SPI command decoder with parity check
- SPI data output feedback check
- Reset circuit for initializing external MCU
- Device state controller with SAFE state in case of detected error event
