PRODUCTION DATA.
During normal mode (the only mode where the CAN driver is active), the TXD DTO circuit prevents the transceiver from blocking network communication in the event of a hardware or software failure where TXD is held dominant longer than the timeout period tTXD_DTO. The DTO circuit timer starts on a falling edge on TXD. The DTO circuit disables the CAN bus driver if no rising edge is seen before the timeout period expires. This frees the bus for communication between other nodes on the network. The CAN driver is re-activated when a recessive signal is seen on TXD pin, thus clearing the TXD DTO condition. The receiver and RXD pin still reflect the CAN bus, and the bus pins are biased to recessive level during a TXD dominant timeout.
