8.3.13 Bus Fault Detection and Communication

The TCAN1164-Q1 provides advanced bus fault detection. TCAN1164-Q1 is used for illustration purposes. The device can determine certain fault conditions and set a status/interrupt flag so the MCU can understand the fault. Detection takes place and is recorded if the fault is present during four dominant to recessive transitions with each dominant bit being ≥ 2µs. As with any bus architecture where termination resistors are at each end, not every fault can be specified to the lowest level, meaning exact location. The fault detection circuitry is monitoring the CANH and CANL pins (currents) to determine if there is a short to battery, short to ground, short to each other or opens. From a system perspective, the location of the device can impact what fault can be detected. See Figure 8-7 as an example of node locations and how they can impact the ability to determine the actual fault location. Figure 8-8 through Figure 8-12 show the various bus faults based upon the three-node configuration. Table 8-10 shows what can be detected and by which device.

Bus fault detection is a system-level situation. If the fault is occurring at the ECU, then the general communication of the bus is compromised. For complete coverage of a node, a system level diagnostic step for each node and the ability to communicate this back to a central point is needed.
