Abstract
A method for detecting a fault with a cable having a resistor divider couple to the cable. The method includes converting a first sense voltage from the resistor divider network to a first digital code, determining whether the first digital code falls within a first range of digital codes corresponding to a first fault associated with the cable, and responsive to determining that the first digital code falls within the first range of digital codes, generating an indication of the first fault.
