High speed CAN transceiver
[1] Pin ERR is an active-LOW output, so a LOW level indicates a set flag and a HIGH level indicates a cleared
flag. Allow pin ERR to stabilize for at least 8 µs after changing operating modes.
[2] Allow for a TXD dominant time of at least 4 µs per dominant-recessive cycle.
7.2.1 UV
NOM
flag
UV
NOM
is the V
CC
and V
I/O
undervoltage detection flag. The flag is set when the voltage
on pin V
CC
drops below V
CC(sleep)
for longer than t
UV(VCC)
or when the voltage on pin V
I/O
drops below V
I/O(sleep)
for longer than t
UV(VI/O)
. When the UV
NOM
flag is set, the transceiver
will enter Sleep mode to save power and not disturb the bus. In Sleep mode the voltage
regulators connected to pin INH are disabled, avoiding the extra power consumption in
case of a short-circuit condition. After a waiting time (fixed by the same timers used for
setting UV
NOM
) any wake-up request or setting of the pwon flag will clear UV
NOM
and the
timers, allowing the voltage regulators to be reactivated at least until UV
NOM
is set again.
7.2.2 UV
BAT
flag
UV
BAT
is the V
BAT
undervoltage detection flag. The flag is set when the voltage on pin V
BAT
drops below V
BAT(stb)
. When UV
BAT
is set, the transceiver will try to enter Standby mode to
save power and not disturb the bus. UV
BAT
is cleared when the voltage on pin V
BAT
has
recovered. The transceiver will then return to the operating mode determined by the logic
state of pins STB and EN.
7.2.3 Pwon flag
Pwon is the V
BAT
power-on flag. This flag is set when the voltage on pin V
BAT
has
recovered after it dropped below V
BAT(pwon)
, particularly after the transceiver was
disconnected from the battery. By setting the pwon flag, the UV
NOM
flag and timers are
cleared and the transceiver cannot enter Sleep mode. This ensures that any voltage
regulator connected to pin INH is activated when the node is reconnected to the battery. In
pwon/listen-only mode the pwon flag can be made available on pin ERR. The flag is
cleared when the transceiver enters normal mode.
7.2.4 Wake-up flag
The wake-up flag is set when the transceiver detects a local or a remote wake-up request.
A local wake-up request is detected when a logic state change on pin WAKE remains
stable for at least t
wake
. A remote wake-up request is detected when the bus remains in
dominant state for at least t
BUS
. The wake-up flag can only be set in Standby mode,
go-to-sleep command mode or Sleep mode. Setting of the flag is blocked during the
UV
NOM
flag waiting time. By setting the wake-up flag, the UV
NOM
flag and timers are
wake-up
source
in normal mode (before the fourth dominant to
recessive edge on pin TXD
[2]
)
on leaving normal mode, or by
setting the pwon flag
bus failure in normal mode (after the fourth dominant to
recessive edge on pin TXD
[2]
on re-entering normal mode
local failure in pwon/listen-only mode (coming from
normal mode)
on entering normal mode or when
RXD is dominant while TXD is
recessive (provided that all local
failures are resolved)
