The DAC outputs can be looped back to comparator inputs to check whether the outputs being driven are at proper voltage levels. The connections need to be provided externally on the board to enable this check. Higher diagnostic coverage can be obtained by configuring tighter limits to the comparator. This technique can also be used to detect control flow errors which cause the DAC output to be set at a value outside the applications safe operating range.
