ADVANCE INFORMATION
The TCAN146x-Q1 supports dominant state time out. This is an internal function based upon the TXD path. The TXD DTO circuit prevents the local node from blocking network communication in event of a hardware or software failure where TXD is held dominant (LOW) longer than the time out period tTXD_DTO. The TXD DTO circuit is triggered by a falling edge on TXD. If no rising edge is seen on TXD terminal, thus clearing the time out constant of the circuit, tTXD_DTO, the CAN driver is disabled. This frees the bus for communication between other nodes on the network. The CAN driver is re-activated when a recessive signal (HIGH) is seen on TXD terminal; thus, clearing the dominant time out. The receiver remains active and the RXD terminal reflects the activity on the CAN bus and the bus terminals is biased to recessive level during a TXD DTO fault. This feature can be disabled by using register 8'h10[6] = 1b, DTO_DIS.
The minimum dominant TXD time allowed by the TXD DTO circuit limits the minimum possible transmitted data rate of the device. The CAN protocol allows a maximum of eleven successive dominant bits (on TXD) for the worst case, where five successive dominant bits are followed immediately by an error frame.
