SLIS117C August 2007 – May 2022 TPIC1021A-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
If TXD is inadvertently driven permanently low by a hardware or software application failure, the LIN bus is protected by TPIC1021A’s dominant state time-out timer. This timer is triggered by a falling edge on TXD. If the low signal remains on TXD 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.
