7.3.5 Receiver Fail-Safe Operation

The receivers are fail-safe to invalid bus states caused by the following:

  • Open bus conditions, such as a disconnected connector
  • Shorted bus conditions, such as cable damage shorting the twisted-pair together
  • Idle bus conditions that occur when no driver on the bus is actively driving

In any of these cases, the receiver outputs a fail-safe logic high state if the input amplitude stays for longer than tD(OFS) at less than |VTH_FSH|.
