PRODUCTION DATA
The TCAN1144-Q1 and TCAN1146-Q1 provide advanced bus fault detection. TCAN1146-Q1 is used for illustration purposes. The device can determine certain fault conditions and set a status/interrupt flag so that the MCU can understand what the fault is. Detection takes place and is recorded if the fault is present during four dominant to recessive transitions with each dominant bit being ≥ 2 µs. As with any bus architecture where termination resistors are at each end not every fault can be specified to the lowest level, meaning exact location. The fault detection circuitry is monitoring the CANH and CANL pins (currents) to determine if there is a short to battery, short to ground, short to each other or opens. From a system perspective, the location of the device can impact what fault can be detected. See Figure 10-29 as an example of node locations and how they can impact the ability to determine the actual fault location. Figure 10-30 through Figure 10-34 show the various bus faults based upon the three-node configuration. Table 10-17 shows what can be detected and by which device. Fault 1 is detected as ½ termination and Fault 2 is detected as no termination.
Bus fault detection is a system-level situation. If the fault is occurring at the ECU then the general communication of the bus is compromised. For complete coverage of a node a system level diagnostic step for each node and the ability to communicate this back to a central point is needed.
Fault # | CANH | CANL | Fault Detected |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Open | Open | All positions see this fault as half termination and detect them |
2 | Open | Open | Depending upon open location the device detects this as no termination. |
3 | Open | Normal | Yes, but cannot tell the difference between it and Fault 2 and 4; Device 2 and Device 3 does not see this fault |
4 | Normal | Open | Yes, but cannot tell the difference between it and Fault 2 and 3; Device 2 and Device 3 does not see this fault |
5 | Shorted to CANL | Shorted to CANH | Yes, but not location |
6 | Shorted to Vbat | Normal | Yes, but not location |
7 | Shorted to GND | Normal | Yes, but cannot tell the difference between this and Fault 10 |
8 | Normal | Shorted to VBAT | Yes, but cannot tell the difference between this and Fault 11 |
9 | Normal | Shorted to GND | Yes, but not location |
10 | Shorted to GND | Shorted to GND | Yes, but cannot tell the difference between this and Fault 7 |
11 | Shorted to Vbat | Shorted to VBAT | Yes, but cannot tell the difference between this and Fault 8 |
