7.3.6 CAN Bus short-circuit current limiting

The TCAN6062-Q1 has several protection features that limit the short-circuit current when a CAN bus line is shorted. These include CAN driver current limiting in all driver states and TXD dominant state timeout which prevents permanently having the higher short-circuit current of a dominant state in case of a system fault. During CAN communication the bus switches between multiple states; therefore, the short-circuit current may be viewed as either the current during each bus state or as a weighted average DC current. When selecting termination resistors or a common mode choke for the CAN design the average power rating, IOS(AVG), should be used.

The average short-circuit current of the bus depends on the weighted average of each driver state during the fault and each state's respective short-circuit current. The average short-circuit current may be calculated using Equation 2.

Equation 2. IOS(AVG) = % Transmit x [(% REC_Bits x IOS(SS)_REC) + (% DOM_Bits x IOS(SS)_DOM) + (% XL_Bits x IOS(SS)_XL] +
[% Receive x 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
  • % XL_Bits is the percentage of FAST TX 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
  • IOS(SS)_XL is the FAST TX mode steady state short-circuit current

This short-circuit current and the possible fault cases of the network should be taken into consideration when sizing the power supply used to generate the transceiver's VCC supply.
