SLLSFB7 March 2026 TLIN1124A-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
While the LIN driver is in normal (active) mode, a TXD DTO circuit prevents the local node from blocking network communication in event of a hardware or software failure where TXD is held dominant longer than the time-out period tTXD_DTO. TLIN1124A-Q1 has TXD DTO on all LIN channels. The TXD DTO circuit is triggered by a falling edge on TXD. If no rising edge is seen before the time-out tTXD_DTO expires, the LIN driver is disabled releasing the bus line to the recessive level. This keeps the bus free for communication between other nodes on the network. The LINx driver is re-activated on the next dominant to recessive transition on the TXDx terminal, thus clearing the dominant time-out. During this fault, the transceiver remains in normal mode, the integrated LIN bus pull-up termination remains on, and the LIN receiver and RXD terminal remain active reflecting the LIN bus data.
