4.6 MCP16503 I2C Diagnostic

The MCP16503 I2C Diagnostic area displays information contained in the STATUS register, including device conditions and faults.

Figure 4-5. I2C Diagnostic Area

This region marks the status and faults of each corresponding bits in the registers. In the case of the SSD and POK status flags, green signals a ‘1’ condition and red signals a ‘0’ condition. In the case of the TSHD, TWR, ENINT, nINTO, FLT, HCP, ZCD, ILIM and ILIMNEG Fault Flags, green signals a ‘0’ condition and red signals a ‘1’ condition or an active Fault.

This information is refreshed once every two seconds. All Fault flags are reset on read, so the GUI memorizes the apparition of a Fault. To clear them from the GUI, the Clear Faults button must be clicked.
