The layout example and information below are
for a responder node with the following configuration: See
Figure 9-14.
- Responder node
- SPI control
- WKRQ
- WAKE and High-side switch
configured for cyclic sensing
The following are the layout guidelines based upon the provided
configuration:
- Pin 1 (VSUP): This is the supply pin for the
device. A 100 nF decoupling capacitor (C1) should be placed as close to the
device as possible. Other bulk decoupling capacitance should be considered.
- Pin 2 (VCC): Output source, either 3.3 V or 5
V depending upon the version of the device and has a 10 μF decoupling capacitor
(C2) to ground as close to the device as possible. This pin is connected to
external circuitry for a limp home mode if the watchdog has timed out causing a
reset
- Pin 3 (nRST): This pin connects to the processors and
functions in one of two manners; as a reset pin for the TLIN1431x-Q1 or an
indicator to the processor of an under-voltage and watchdog failure event. The
pin has a 10 kΩ resistor (R1) pulled up to the processor I/O voltage rail.
- Pin 4 (WDT/CLK): In SPI control mode, this pin (CLK) is
connected directly to the processor as the SPI CLK input to the
TLIN1431x-Q1.
- Pin 5 (nWDR/SDO): In SPI control mode, this pin (SDO) is
connected directly to the processor as the SPI serial data output from the
TLIN1431x-Q1.
- Pin 6 (WDI/SDI): In SPI control mode, this pin (SDI) is
connected directly to the processor as the SPI serial data input into the
TLIN1431x-Q1.
- Pin 7 (PIN/nCS): For SPI control mode, this pin (nCS)
should be connected directly to the processor as the SPI chip select to the
TLIN1431x-Q1.
- Pin 8 (EN/nINT): In SPI
control mode, this pin becomes an output interrupt pin that is provided to the
processor.
- Pin 9 (HSSC/FSO): In SPI control mode, this pin (FSO) is
connected directly to the processor, external transceiver or general purpose SBC
as a selectable interrupt or control pin.
- Pin 10 (PV): This pin is connected directly to a
processor ADC and has a 20 pF capacitor (C3) to GND.
- Pin 11 (DIV_ON): The pin is connected to a processor
which controls when the VBAT monitoring in the TLIN1431x-Q1 is
enabled.
- Pin 12 (TXD): The TXD pin is the LIN transceiver input
from the processors. A series resistor can be placed to limit the input current
to the device in the event of an over-voltage on this pin. A capacitor to ground
can be placed close to the input pin of the device to filter noise. These are
system level dependent and not covered here as usually not needed.
- Pin 13 (RXD): The RXD is the LIN transceiver receive
output to the processor. The pin is a push-pull output and can be connected
directly to the processor without external pull-ups.
- Pin 14 (GND): This is the ground connection for the
device. This pin should be tied to the ground plane through a short trace with
the use of two vias to limit total return inductance.
- Pin 15 (LIN): This pin connects to the LIN bus. For
responder nodes, a 220 pF capacitor (C4) to ground is implemented. For commander
nodes, an additional series resistor and blocking diode should be placed between
the LIN pin and the VSUP pin.
- Pin 16 (WKRQ/INH): This
pin can be the high-voltage inhibit output pin or the digital wake output pin.
The example shows the pin configured as WKRQ which requires a 100 kΩ resistor
(R2) to ground at power up.
- Pin 17 (WAKE): This pin
connects to VSUP through a resistor divider (R3 and R4) with the
center tap connected to a switch to ground or VSUP and is used as the
local wake up pin. A 10 nF capacitor (C5) to ground should be placed at this
center tap as shown in the application drawings. In the layout example, the pin
is configured to work with the HSS pin using the cyclic sensing wake capability
of the device.
- Pin 18 (HSS): This pin is
the high-side switch output
- Pin 19 (LIMP): This pin as
a high-side switch that is used for a limp home function that provides
VSUP to an external circuit which is not shown.
- Pin 20 (VBAT): This pin is
used for battery monitoring is comes from the battery prior to the blocking
diode. It has a 470 Ω resistor (R5) in series and a 100 nF capacitor (C6) to
GND.
Note:
All ground and power connections
should be made as short as possible and use at least two vias to minimize the
total loop inductance.
