Diagnosis in OFF state
When a power output stage is in OFF state, the BTS7040-1EPA can measure the output voltage and compare
it with a threshold voltage. In this way, using some additional external components (a pull-down resistor and
a switchable pull-up current source), it is possible to detect if the load is missing or if there is a short circuit to
battery. If a Fault condition was detected by the device (the internal counter has a value different from the
reset value, as described in Chapter 9.2.2) a current IIS(FAULT) is provided by IS pin each time the channel
diagnosis is checked also in OFF state.
