UJA1162
Self-supplied high-speed CAN transceiver with Sleep mode
6.6 CAN transceiver status pin (CTS)
Pin CTS is driven HIGH to indicate to microcontroller that the transceiver is fully enabled
and data can be transmitted and received via the TXD/RXD pins.
Pin CTS is actively driven LOW:
• while the transceiver is starting up (e.g. during a transition from Standby to Normal
mode) or
• if pin TXD is clamped LOW for t > t
to(dom)TXD
or
• if an undervoltage is detected on VIO or BUF
6.7 CAN fail-safe features
6.7.1 TXD dominant timeout
A TXD dominant time-out timer is started when pin TXD is forced LOW while the
transceiver is in CAN Active Mode. If the LOW state on pin TXD persists for longer than
the TXD dominant time-out time (t
to(dom)TXD
), the transmitter is disabled, releasing the bus
lines to recessive state. This function prevents a hardware and/or software application
failure from driving the bus lines to a permanent dominant state (blocking all network
traffic). The TXD dominant time-out timer is reset when pin TXD goes HIGH. The TXD
dominant time-out time also defines the minimum possible bit rate of 15 kbit/s.
6.7.2 Pull-up on TXD pin
Pin TXD has an internal pull-up (towards V
IO
) to ensure a safe defined recessive driver
state in case the pin is left floating.
6.7.3 Pull-down on SLPN pin
Pin SLPN has an internal pull-down (to GND) to ensure the UJA1162 switches to Sleep
mode if SLPN is left floating.
6.7.4 Loss of power at pin BAT
A loss of power at pin BAT has no impact on the bus lines or on the microcontroller. No
reverse currents flow from the bus.
