Functional description

4.8.2

Diagnostic reset bit

In case of "DIAG_CLR_EN" set to HIGH (RESET value), all the bits of the diagnostic

In case of "DIAG_CLR_EN" set to LOW, the SPI diagnostics reading doesn't clear the flag

for diagnostics flags bits reported in Table 72. Therefore, the bridge is kept in disable state

until a transition from "high" to "low" on DIS pin or RESET condition.

Note:

(-) available in the R0 bit position in SPI command frame 3.

A register reports the echo of DIAG_CLR_EN configuration regsiter: "DIAG_CLR_EN_echo"

Note:

(-) available in the 1st bit position in SPI answer frame 7a.

If a new diagnostic occurs simultaneously with diagnostic register reset, this new diagnostic

becomes the new status of the diagnostic register (new information must not be lost).

Known limitation:

This diagnostic reset strategy has a limitation: if the SPI transfer is not correct (for example

only 15 clock periods instead of 16) and the diagnostic register has already been cleared, if

the failure is no more present, the information is lost (it has not been transferred to the

µcontroller).
