CAN Bus Fault (CBF Flag)

The TCAN1473-Q1 device can detect the following six fault conditions and set the nFAULT pin low as an interrupt so that the controller can be notified and act if a CAN bus fault exists. These failures are detected while transmitting a dominant signal on the CAN bus. If one of these fault conditions persists for four consecutive dominant-to-recessive bit transitions, the nFAULT indicates a CAN bus failure flag in Normal mode by driving the nFAULT pin low. The CAN bus driver remains active. Table 7-2 shows what fault conditions can be detected by the TCAN1473-Q1.

Table 7-2 Bus Fault Pin State and Detection Table
FAULTCondition
1CANH Shorted to VBAT
2CANH Shorted to VCC
3CANH Shorted to GND
4CANL Shorted to VBAT
5CANL Shorted to VCC
6CANL Shorted to GND

Bus fault detection is a system level situation. If the fault is occurring at the ECU, the general communication of the bus may be compromised. Until a diagnostic determination can be made, the transceiver remains in CAN active mode during a CAN bus fault enabling the ECU to transmit data to the CAN bus and receive data from the CAN bus. For complete coverage of a node, a system level diagnostic step should be performed for each node and the information should be communicated back to a central point.

While in normal mode, if no CAN bus fault is detected for four consecutive dominant-to-recessive transitions on the TXD pin then the CBF flag is cleared and nFAULT is driven high. The bus fault failure circuitry is able to detect bus faults for a range of differential resistance loads (RCBF) and for any time greater than tCBF.
