Fault Mux
The Fault Mux registers control a multiplexer which connects power supply fault signals to DPWMs. They
also perform several other functions
•
Configuration of analog and digital comparators and fault pins for fault detection
•
Monitoring of fault status
•
Digital Ideal Diode Emulation circuit for synchronous rectification FETs
•
Processor clock failure detection
•
Support for analog peak current mode control
The Fault Mux is responsible for fault detection and connection, while the DPWM is responsible for the
action taken to handle the fault. Even though most of the control for fault response action is based in the
DPWM registers, it is discussed in this section (in this way all information relating to the Fault information
is available in one location).
Here is an overview of the fault handling system in the UCD3138:
