Figure 12. Switching Global Error Mode Timing Diagram

Error-Detection Mode

Acquisition of the error status occurs at the rising edge of OEN. Error-detection mode is started on the rising edge of

LD when OEN is high. The CLK signal must be low when entering error detection mode. Error detection for open- and

shorted-LEDs can only be performed for LEDs that are switched on during test time. To switch between error-detection

modes clock pulses are needed (see Table 5).

Note: To test all LEDs, a test pattern that turns on all LEDs must be input to the AS1113.

Global Error Mode

Global error mode is entered when error-detection mode is started. Clock pulses during this period are used to select

between temperature, open-LED, and shorted-LED tests, as well as low-current diagnostic mode and shutdown mode

(see Table 5). In global error mode, an error flag (TFLAG, OFLAG, SFLAG) is delivered to pin SDO if any errors are

encountered.

Note: For a valid result SDI must be 1 for the first device.
