8.5 Error Detection Functions

8.5.1 Open-LED Detection

and stored internally. While detecting open-LEDs the output port must be turned on. Open LED detection can be started with 1 clock pulse during

error detection mode while the output port is turned on.

Note:

LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested and will be shown as a logic 1 in the detailed error report.

8.5.2 Shorted-LED

of OEN and stored internally. While detecting shorted-LEDs the output port must be turned on. Shorted-LED detection can be started with 2 clock

pulses during error detection mode while the output port is turned on.

Note:

LEDs which are turned off at test time cannot be tested and will be shown as a logic 1 in the detailed error report.

8.5.3 Overtemperature

Thermal protection for the AS1110 is provided by continuously monitoring the device’s core temperature. The overtemperature status is aquired

at the rising edge of OEN and stored internally.
