CMPSS consists of analog comparators and supporting components that are combined into a topology that is useful for power applications such as peak-current mode control, switched- mode power, power factor correction, and voltage trip monitoring. With ePWM for active synchronous rectification, active synchronous rectification enables higher efficiency.
- Hardware Redundancy. For CMPSS, hardware
redundancy can be implemented by having multichannel parallel outputs or input
comparison.
- Software Test of Function Including Error Tests.
Support running functionality test or fault injection test on the CMPSS critical
registers or critical features. A set of predetermined patterns can be written
to the registers, after that the user read back the register value and compared
with expected value. Through adjusting the filter thresholds, check whether the
output is followed with the filer changes to achieve the key CMPSS function
detection.
- Logic Power on Self-Test. LPOST (Logic Power on
Self-Test) provides high diagnostic coverage for the device at a transistor
level during start-up and application time. LPOST utilizes Design for Test (DFT)
structures inserted into the device for rapid execution of high-quality
manufacturing tests, but with an internal test engine rather than external
automated test equipment (ATE). The LPOST test is triggered by the BootROM based
on the SECCFG user input.
