Note:

The OC pin failure, corresponding to the code "000" is available only for channels operating in Peak & Hold. This

code is unused in other configurations. Refer to Section 5.6.2 in order to understand how this diagnostic is

performed.

For an immediate fault detection, the MSB of the diagnostic code can be evaluated, as shown in Figure 28. An

MSB equal to zero indicates that a failure occurred.

By default, all channels will report the "No diagnostic done" message. Such message is also reported in case

diagnostic has been disabled. The diagnostic status follows a priority concept: if more than one event occurs on a

channel, only the one with the highest priority will be encoded in the diag_xx[2-0] bit. Priority codes are related to

the severity of the fault. OC failures have the highest priority.

The diagnostic latches are reset in case of SPI readout, POR or NRES. After a reset event, diagnostic filters are

reset to prevent false detection.

Figure 29 shows an equivalent Finite State Machine (FSM) that helps understanding diagnostic priority.
