The SPI of TLE7231G provides diagnosis information about the device and about the load. The diagnosis
information of the protective functions of channel n is latched in the diagnosis flag Dn. The open load diagnosis of
channel n is latched in the diagnosis flag OLn. Both flags are cleared by INn = 00
which is a small pull down current, is disabled.
Following table shows possible failure modes and the according protective and diagnostic action.

Diagnostic Features
Open Load Diagnosis timing
Open Load timing
is applied to filter short time events.
Diagnosis, when channel n is switched on:
INn = 01
INn = 10
Diagnosis, when channel n is switched off:
INn = 00
INn = 01
after time t
INn = 11
When over temperature occurs, the affected channel n is switched off. The according
diagnosis flag Dn is set.
The diagnosis flags are latched until they have been cleared by INn = 00
temperature detection is active in ON-state as well as OFF-state.
When over load is detected at channel n, the affected channel is switched off after time
