SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FAULT DETECTION AND REPORTING THROUGH SERIAL INTERFACE TRANSCEIVERS

Circuitry, systems, and methods for fault detection and reporting comprise a fault detection circuit configured to detect one or more fault conditions that cause a state change in a fault pin voltage representative of a transceiver failure. Once the state of the fault pin voltage changes, a transceiver input generates a fault detection code. In embodiments, in response to the transceiver input receiving a first signal, the fault detection code is shifted to a transceiver output that may communicate the fault detection code to a controller. Once the transceiver input receives a second signal, the fault pin voltage may be reset to clear the fault detection code before resuming operations, including detecting additional fault conditions as they arise. 用于故障检测和报告的电路、系统和方法包括故障检测电路，该故障检测电路被配置为检测一个或多个故障状况，该一个或多个故障状况导致故障引脚电压中的状态改变，该状态改变表示收发器故障。一旦故障引脚电压的状态改变，收发器输入端就会生成故障检测码。在实施例中，响应于收发器输入端接收到第一信号，故障检测码被移位到收发器输出端，该收发器输出端可以将故障检测码传送给控制器。一旦收发器输入端接收到第二信号，故障引脚电压就可以被重置以在重新开始操作之前清除故障检测码，包括在附加故障状况出现时检测它们。
