The LIMP pin is for the limp home function and is an open-drain, active low, output. It is used for a limp home mode if the watchdog has timed out causing a reset. The pin must be pulled up with an external resistor connected to the battery supply, VSUP. For the LIMP pin to be turned off, the watchdog error counter must reach zero from correct input triggers. If programmed any event that triggers the fail-safe mode will also turn on the LIMP pin. The state of this pin can be read back by setting DEVICE_CONFIG register 8'h1A[6] LIMP_RD_EN to 1b. The state of the LIMP pin active (on) or inactive (off) can be read back from LIMP_STATE at 8'h1A[5].
