The
TCAN1164-Q1
contains an internal digital core that operates the device and contains
several diagnostic features such as: TXD dominant time out timer, SPI
communication processor and addressable registers, time out, windowed, or
Q&A watchdog timer, and the sleep wake error timer. The digital core
also interfaces with the internal EEPROM memory and has CRC checking
capability to ensure good data retention.
The following
sections provide the functional safety mechanisms that cover the
digital core:
