7.3.8.1 TXD Dominant Timeout (TXD DTO)

While the CAN driver is in active mode a TXD dominant state timeout circuit prevents the local node from blocking network communication in event of a hardware or software failure where TXD is held dominant longer than the timeout period, t > tTXDDTO. The TXD dominant state timeout circuit is triggered by a falling edge on the TXD pin. If no rising edge is seen before on TXD before t > tTXDDTO than the CAN driver is disabled releasing the bus lines to the recessive level. This keeps the bus free for communication between other nodes on the network.

The CAN driver is activated again once there is a mode transition, or once TXD is high while RXD is low. During a TXDDTO fault the high-speed receiver remains active and the RXD output pin mirrors the CAN bus.

TCAN843-Q1 Timing Diagram for TXD DTOFigure 7-3 Timing Diagram for TXD DTO

The minimum dominant TXD time allowed by the dominant state timeout circuit limits the minimum possible transmitted data rate of the transceiver. The CAN protocol allows a maximum of eleven successive dominant bits to be transmitted in the worst case, where five successive dominant bits are followed immediately by an error frame. The minimum transmitted data rate is calculated using the minimum tTXDDTO time in Equation 1.

Equation 1. Minimum Data Rate = 11 bits / tTXDDTO = 11 bits / 1.2ms = 9.2kbps
