LM36011: LM36011, VLED Short Fault

please describe your question more detail.

hi Frank:

       1.LM36011,Flags Register (0x05), VLED Short Fault  status ： 1

       2.LED PIN  The measured voltage is less than 500mv，

       3.Device ID and RESET Register (0x06)   Software RESET 0 = Normal (default) 1 = Force device RESET

         Force device RESET , Flags Register (0x05), VLED Short Fault 为0，Then it becomes 1

7.4.3.2 LED Short Fault
LM36011 enters stand-by mode from flash or torch mode and VLED Short Fault flag (bit [5]) of Flags Register
(0x05) is set, if the LED output experiences a short condition. An LED short condition occurs if the voltage at the
LED pin goes below 500 mV (typical). There is a deglitch time of 256 μs before the LED short flag is valid The
LED short fault can be reset to 0 by removing power to the LM36011, or setting the software reset field (Register
0x06 bit [7]) to a 1, or by reading back the Flags Register.

Hi Kevin,

if LED pin voltage is less than 500mV and you can make sure there is no external path. you can check the current you set, and make sure whether the device work in torch mode
