Watchdog Timing

The TCAN245x-Q1 provides three methods for setting up the watchdog, window, time-out and question and answer. Question and Answer watch dog is covered in Section 8.3.13.8.4. If more frequent, < 64ms, input trigger events are desired, the suggestion is to use the time-out timer as this is an event within the time event and not specific to an open window. Refer to Figure 8-42 for the Timeout watchdog timing diagram. Timeout watchdog has an internal accuracy of ± 15%.

When using the window watchdog, understanding the closed and open window aspects is important. The TCAN245x-Q1 is set up with a 50%/50% open and closed window and is based on an internal oscillator with a ± 10% accuracy range. To determine when to provide the input trigger, this variance needs to be considered. Using the 64ms nominal total window, tWINDOW, provides a closed and open window that are each 32ms. Taking the ±10% internal oscillator into account means tWINDOW can be from 57.6ms to 70.4ms. The closed, tCLOSED, and open window, tOPEN, are from 28.8ms to 35.2ms. Using tWINDOW of 57.6ms and tCLOSED of 35.2ms, the total tOPEN is 22.4ms. The safe trigger area needs to happen at the 46.4ms ± 11.2ms which is half the tOPEN min + tCLOSED max. The same method is used for the other window values. Figure 8-43 provides the above information graphically.
