The fault condition 1) "output short circuit to Vbat" : the output was switched on and the voltage at the output

exceeded the diagnostics threshold due to overcurrent, the output overload latch was set and the output has

been switched off. The diagnostic bit is high.

Fault condition 2) "open load" or "output short circuit to GND" is the same as of outputs 1 and 2.

At the falling edge of NCS the output status data are transferred to the shift register. When NSC is low, data bits

contained in the shift register are transferred to SDO output et every rising CLK edge.
