PRODUCTION DATA
The TCAN245x-Q1 supports low power sleep and standby modes, and uses a wake up from the CAN bus mechanism called bus wake through the RXD Request (BWRR). Once this pattern is received, the device automatically switches to standby mode from sleep mode, and insert an interrupt onto the nINT pin, if enabled, to indicate to a host microprocessor that the bus is active. If successful, the processor wakes up and services the device. The low power receiver and bus monitor are enabled in sleep mode to allow for RXD Wake Requests via the CAN bus. A wake-up request is output to the RXD (driven low) as shown in Figure 8-16. The external CAN FD controller monitors RXD for transitions (high to low) and reactivate the device to normal mode based on the RXD Wake Request. The CAN bus terminals are weakly pulled to GND during this mode, see Figure 7-2.
The device uses the wake-up pattern (WUP) from ISO 11898-2: 2016 to qualify bus traffic into a request to wake the host microprocessor. The bus wake request is signaled to the integrated CAN FD controller by a falling edge and low corresponding to a “filtered” bus dominant on the RXD terminal (BWRR).
The wake-up pattern (WUP) consists of:
Once the WUP is detected, the device starts issuing wake up requests (BWRR) on the RXD pin. The behavior of this pin is determined by register 8'h12[2]. If 8'h12[2] = 0b the RXD pin is pulled low once the WUP pattern has been received that meets the dominant, recessive, dominant filtered times. The first filtered dominant initiates the WUP and the bus monitor is now waiting on a filtered recessive, other bus traffic does not reset the bus monitor. Once a filtered recessive is received, the bus monitor is now waiting on a filtered dominant and again, other bus traffic does not reset the bus monitor. Immediately upon receiving of the second filtered dominant the bus monitor recognizes the WUP and transition to BWRR output. Immediately upon verification receiving a WUP the device transitions the bus monitor into BWRR mode, and indicates all filtered dominant bus times on the RXD internal signal by driving it low for the dominant bus time that is in excess of tWK_FILTER, thus the RXD output during BWRR matches the classical 8 pin CAN devices that used the single filtered dominant on the bus as the wake-up request mechanism from ISO 11898-2: 2016.
For a dominant or recessive to be considered “filtered”, the bus must be in that state for more than tWK_FILTER time. Due to variability in the tWK_FILTER the following scenarios are applicable.
See Figure 8-16 for the timing diagram of the WUP.
The pattern and tWK_FILTER time used for the WUP and BWRR prevents noise and bus stuck dominant faults from causing false wake requests while allowing any CAN or CAN FD message to initiate a BWRR. If the device is switched to normal mode or an under-voltage event occurs on VCC the BWRR is lost. The WUP pattern must take place within the tWK_TIMEOUT time; otherwise, the device is in a state waiting for the next recessive and then a valid WUP pattern.
If 8'h12[2] = 1 the RXD pin toggles low too high too low for tTOGGLE = 10µS until the device is put into normal mode or listen mode. BWRR is active in standby mode upon power up and once coming out of sleep mode or certain failsafe mode conditions. If a SPI write puts the device into standby mode, the RXD pin is high until a wake event takes place. The RXD pin then behaves similar to the device coming out of sleep mode due to a wake event.
