TPS929120-Q1: Register Reads to tell we are in a one-fail-all-fail state

Part Number: TPS929120-Q1

Hi Team,

With the TPS929120 if we have EEP_OFAF=1, what registers can we read to confirm that a one fail all fail has occurred after a fault?

I know this will pull the ERR pin down, but the board will be remote so we wouldn't have access to the pin itself to read its status.

I'm particularly curious the best way to tell this if we have multiple 929120s on a board and their ERR pins are tied together and the error that actually triggered the fault is on a different device.

Thanks for the help,

David

  • Hi,

    1) You can check register  FLAG_ERR to find the error, and if you want to know one fail all fail works or not, you can check CONF_EN0 and CONF_EN1.  CONF_EN0 and CONF_EN1 should be 0x00 after the fault. By the way, you can see the all light turn off after the fault.(Maybe it is easier)

    2) You can check FLAG_ERR in different devices to see which device triggered the fault.
