2.3.10 Diagnostic

All of the LED drivers used in this reference design provide advanced diagnostics and fault protection features for automotive exterior lighting systems. The devices are able to detect and protect from LED string short-to-GND, LED string open-circuit scenarios. The TPS92610-Q1 supports single-LED-short detection in addition. The LED drivers also support a one-fails–all-fail fault bus that could flexibly fit different legislative requirements. The fault bus can be used to report any failure back to the body control module.
