7.3.13.6 CAN Bus Short Circuit Current Limiting

The TCAN1162x-Q1 has several protection features that limit the short circuit current during dominant and recessive when a CAN bus line is shorted. The device has TXD dominant state timeout which prevents permanently having a higher short circuit current during a dominant state fault.

During CAN communication the bus switches between the dominant and recessive states, thus the short circuit current may be viewed either as the current during each bus state or as a DC average current. The average short circuit current should be used when considering system power for the termination resistors and common mode choke. The percentage dominant is limited by the TXD dominant state timeout and CAN protocol which has forced state changes and recessive bits such as bit stuffing, control fields, and interframe space. These ensure that there is a minimum recessive time on the bus even if the data field contains a high percentage of dominant bits.

The short circuit current of the bus depends on the ratio of recessive to dominant bits and their respective short circuit currents. The average short circuit current may be calculated using Equation 2.

Equation 2. IOS(AVG) = %Transmit × [(%REC_Bits × IOS(SS)_REC) + (%DOM_Bits × IOS(SS)_DOM)] + [%Receive × IOS(SS)_REC]

Where:

  • IOS(AVG) is the average short circuit current
  • %Transmit is the percentage the node is transmitting CAN messages
  • %Receive is the percentage the node is receiving CAN messages
  • %REC_Bits is the percentage of recessive bits in the transmitted CAN messages
  • %DOM_Bits is the percentage of dominant bits in the transmitted CAN messages
  • IOS(SS)_REC is the recessive steady state short circuit current
  • IOS(SS)_DOM is the dominant steady state short circuit current

The short circuit current and possible fault cases of the network should be taken into consideration when sizing the power ratings of the termination resistance and other network components.
