TMS320F28384D: Software implementation of Safety Manual GPIO4 - Loopback test

Part Number: TMS320F28384D

Hello,


I would like to implement the following safety feature for GPIO:
Safety Feature: GPIO4 – Software Function Test using I/O Loopback.

Could you please confirm whether implementing this mechanism requires any hardware modifications, or if there is an internal configuration available to support this test?

Thank you,

  • External loopback, where you route the output GPIO to a totally different input GPIO pin would give you the most coverage, since you can detect open/short faults at the pin of the device. There are internal loopback options but those would not cover the a pin fault such as an open.
