PRODUCTION DATA
The device has two protection features that limit the short circuit current when a CAN bus line has a short-circuit fault condition. The first protection feature is driver current limiting (both dominant and recessive states) and the second feature is TXD dominant state time out to prevent permanent higher short circuit current of the dominant state during a system fault. During CAN communication the bus switches between dominant and recessive states, therefore the short circuit current may be viewed either as the instantaneous current during each bus state or as an average current of the two states. For system current (power supply) and power considerations in the termination resistors and common-mode choke ratings, use the average short circuit current. Determine the ratio of dominant and recessive bits by the data in the CAN frame plus the following factors of the protocol and PHY that force either recessive or dominant at certain times:
These factors ensure a minimum recessive amount of time on the bus even if the data field contains a high percentage of dominant bits. The short circuit current of the bus depends on the ratio of recessive to dominant bits and their respective short circuit currents. Use Equation 2 to calculate the average short circuit current.

Consider the short circuit current and possible fault cases of the network when sizing the power ratings of the termination resistance and other network components.
