7.3.8 Floating pins

The device has internal pull-ups on critical pins which place the device into known states if the pin floats. This internal bias must not be relied upon by design though, especially in noisy environments, but instead is considered a failsafe protection feature.

When a CAN controller supporting open-drain outputs is used an adequate external pull-up resistor must be chosen. This makes sure the TXD output of the CAN controller maintains acceptable bit time to the input of the CAN transceiver. See Table 7-3 for details on pin bias conditions.

Table 7-3 Pin Bias
PinPull-up or Pull-downComment
TXDPull-upWeakly biases TXD toward recessive to prevent bus blockage or TXD DTO triggering
SPull-upWeakly biases S towards low-power silent mode to prevent excessive system power
