PRODUCTION DATA
The devices have several protection features that limit the short-circuit current when a CAN bus line is shorted. These include CAN driver current limiting in the dominant and recessive 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 the dominant and recessive states, thus the short-circuit current may be viewed as either the current during each bus state or as a DC average current. When selecting termination resistors or a common-mode choke for the CAN design the average power rating, IOS(AVG), should be used. The percentage dominant is limited by the TXD DTO and the CAN protocol which has forced state changes and recessive bits due to bit stuffing, control fields, and interframe space. making sure there is a minimum amount of recessive time on the bus even if the data field contains a high percentage of dominant bits.
The average short-circuit current of the bus depends on the ratio of recessive to dominant bits and the respective short-circuit currents. The average short-circuit current may be calculated using 2.
