Activation of the Limp Home Output
The reason to activate the Limp Home pins and the consequences are listed in Table 12 and Table 13.

Release of the Limp Home Output
When Limp Home is activated via SPI command, then it is released via SPI command. This is useful for diagnosis
purpose for example.
Otherwise, the Limp Home outputs are released only in SBC Normal Mode with the following conditions: After the
device has been set to SBC Restart Mode, automatically entering SBC Normal Mode, a successful Watchdog
trigger must be sent via SPI. At this point, the Limp Home outputs remain active. Then the microcontroller needs
to send by SPI command the deactivation of the Limp Home.

Vcc1µC undervoltage time-out
A Vcc1µC undervoltage time-out condition is given, when
1) the Vcc1µC output voltage is below the reset threshold (VRT1, VRT2, VRT3),
2) VS is higher then the threshold (VSthUV1, VSthUV2, VSthUV3) and
3) the condition is valid longer then the Vcc1µC under voltage time-out (tVcc1UVTO).
A Vcc1µC undervoltage time-out will sent the device into Fail-Safe Mode. Limp Home output stag will be activated
(for Vs > VLHUV)
Figure 34 gives an example of the Limp Home output activation, due to a Vcc1µC undervoltage time-out.
