1) L = “low” level, H = “high” level, Z = high impedance, potential depends on leakage currents and external circuit.
X = undefined.
2) The over temperature flag is set latched and can be cleared by setting HWCR.CTC = 1B.
3) The warning flags are latched until they are reset (see HWCR.RCR description).

Diagnosis Word at SPI
Diagnostic information about the status of each channel is provided through SPI. In the Standard Diagnosis the
ERR_MUX bit reports if there is a channel which had already enough restarts to reach the maximum allowed
number of retries nretry (P_7.7.17). If 2 or more channels are latched OFF due to that, ERR_MUX bits aren't enough
to identify which channels are OFF. In such cases, it is possible to get an overview channel by channel using
ERR_COUNTERn bits in Errors Diagnosis (see Chapter 9.6.2)
It is possible to check if one or more channels had some retries during switching ON, although the limit of nretry was
not reached. An overview channel by channel of thermal counter status is available using ERRn bits in Warnings
Diagnosis (see Chapter 9.6.3).
For both ERR_COUNTERn and ERRn the information on channel n is given at bit n-1 (e.g. bit 0 indicates status of
channel 1).
