Abstract

See full text

Reset output with open drain configuration for functional safety (FUSA) applications. Example embodiments include methods of operating an output of an integrated circuit (IC) including determining an error condition in the IC; generating a reset signal based on the determining the error condition in the IC; selectively conducting, by a field-effect transistor (FET), a first current between an output terminal and a ground terminal of the IC to drive the output terminal to a low voltage state, and thereby signaling the error condition in the IC; conducting a second current between a signal terminal of the IC and a gate of the FET to drive the FET to a conductive state; and selectively driving, in response to the reset signal, the FET to a non-conductive state.
