Abstract:
The embodiments disclosed herein describe a set of fault detection circuits for LED circuits in an LED channel. A first fault detection circuit is configured to detect a short fault across one or more LEDs. A second fault detection circuit is configured to detect an open fault across an LED. A third fault detection circuit is configured to detect a short across an LED channel transistor. A fourth fault detection circuit is configured to detect an LED channel sense resistor open fault. A fifth fault detection circuit is configured to detect if the LED channel is being intentionally unused. These fault detect circuits can be implemented in a fault detection integrated circuit coupled to the LED channel.

Claim (Index 4):
The LED fault detection circuit of  claim 3 , wherein the comparator is configured to compare a voltage at the first node to a reference voltage and to output a fault signal indicating the presence or absence of a short fault across one or more of the LEDs based on the comparison.
