Abstract

Described embodiments provide circuits, systems and methods for detecting and communicating fault conditions. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a fault detector to detect a fault condition of the integrated circuit and a controller to generate output data of the integrated circuit. An output generator generates an output signal of the integrated circuit. The output signal is generated at a first set of output levels based upon the output data when the fault detector does not detect the fault condition, and the output signal is generated at a second set of output levels based upon the output data when the fault detector detects the fault condition.
