Due to the nature of the Digipots and the way they are tested, the diagnostics are unable to detect which
Digipot is bad because they are tested serially. If the test fails, verify all 3 signals are present at the
Digipots. Trace the DP_DATA path signals. If there’s a bad, shorted or missing DP_DATA signal, the
DP_FBK signal won’t report the correct data to the ADSP2186.
