FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SPI DEFINITION
SPI DEFINITION
On each SPI communication, a 16-bit command word is
sent to the 33879 and a 16-bit status word is received from
the 33879. The MSB is sent and received first. As Table
shows, the Command Register defines the position and
operation the 33879 will perform on rising edge of CS. The
Fault Register, shown in Table 6, defines the previous state
status of the output driver. Table identifies the type of fault
and the method by which the fault is communicated to the
microprocessor

Table 8. Fault Operation
Serial Output (DO) Pin Reports
Over-temperature
Fault reported by serial output (DO) pin.
DO pin reports short to battery/supply or over-current condition.
Not reported.
Over-current
Output ON Open Load Fault
Output OFF Open Load Fault
DO pin reports output OFF open load condition only with Open Load Detection Current enabled.
DO pin will report “0” for Output OFF Open Load Fault with Open Load Detection Current disabled.
Device Shutdowns
Over-voltage
Total device shutdown at V
= VPWR(OV) V. Resumes normal operation with proper voltage. All
PWR
outputs assuming the previous state upon recovery from over-voltage.
Over-temperature
Only the output experiencing an over-temperature shuts down. Output assumes previous state upon
recovery from over-temperature.
