PRODUCTION DATA
TXD DTO circuit prevents the local node from blocking network communication in the event of a hardware or software failure where TXD is held dominant longer than the time-out period tTXD_DTO. The TXD DTO circuit timer starts on a falling edge on TXD. The TXD DTO circuit disables the CAN bus driver if no rising edge is seen before the time-out period expires. This frees the bus for communication between other nodes on the network. The CAN driver is re-activated when a recessive signal is seen on the TXD pin, thus clearing the TXD DTO condition. The receiver and RXD pin still reflect the CAN bus, and the bus pins are biased to recessive level during a TXD dominant time-out.
The minimum dominant TXD time allowed by the TXD DTO circuit limits the minimum possible transmitted data rate of the device. The CAN protocol allows a maximum of eleven successive dominant bits (on TXD) for the worst case, where five successive dominant bits are followed immediately by an error frame. This, along with the tTXD_DTO minimum, limits the minimum data rate. Calculate the minimum transmitted data rate by: Minimum Data Rate = 11 / tTXD_DTO.
