Detailed Open-LED Error Report

The detailed open-LED error report can be read out immediately after global error mode has been run.

Detailed Open-LED Error Report Example

Consider a case where five AS1109s are cascaded in one chain. A 1 indicates a LED is on, a 0 indicates a LED is off,

and an X indicates an open LED. The open-LED test is only applied to LEDs that are turned on. This test is used with

a test pattern where all LEDs are on at test time.

IC1:[11111111] IC2:[111XX111] IC3:[11111111] IC4:[1X111111] IC5:[11111111]

IC2 has two open LEDs and IC4 has one open LED switched on due to input. 5*8 clock cycles are needed to write the

entire error code out. The detailed error report would look like this:

Comparing this report with the input data indicates that IC2 is the device with two open LEDs at position 4 and 5 and

IC4 with an open LED at second position. For such a test it is recommended to enter low-current diagnostic mode first

(see Low-Current Diagnostic Mode on page 15) to reduce onscreen flickering.

Note: In an actual report there are no spaces in the output.

LEDs turned off during test time cannot be tested.
