If the TXD pin is inadvertently driven permanently low by a hardware or software application failure, the LIN bus is protected by TPIC1021’s Dominant State Timeout Timer. This timer is triggered by a falling edge on the TXD pin. If the low signal remains on the TXD pin for longer than tDST, the transmitter is disabled thus allowing the LIN bus to return to the recessive state and communication to resume on the bus. The timer is reset by a rising edge on TXD pin.
