5.2 Digital Core

The TLIN1431x-Q1 contains an internal digital core that operates the device and contains several diagnostic features such as: TXD dominant time out timer, SPI communication processor and addressable registers, time out, watchdog timer, and the sleep wake error timer. The digital core also interfaces with the internal OTP memory and has CRC checking capability to ensure good data retention.

The following tests can be applied as functional safety mechanisms for this module (to provide diagnostic coverage on a specific function):
