Acquisition of
Error Status
Error-Detection Mode
Acquisition of the error status occurs at the rising edge of OEN. Error-detection mode is started on the rising edge of
LD when OEN is high. The CLK signal must be low when entering error detection mode. Error detection for open- and
shorted-LEDs can only be performed for LEDs that are switched on during test time. To switch between error-detection
modes clock pulses are needed (see Table 5).
Note: To test all LEDs, a test pattern that turns on all LEDs must be input to the AS1109.
Global Error Mode
Global error mode is entered when error-detection mode is started. Clock pulses during this period are used to select
between temperature, open-LED, and shorted-LED tests, as well as low-current diagnostic mode and shutdown mode
(see Table 5). In global error mode, an error flag (TFLAG, OFLAG, SFLAG) is delivered to pin SDO if any errors are
encountered.
