SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION OF
THE BUS PINS
The CANH and CANL bus outputs are short-circuit
protected, either against GND or a positive supply
voltage.
A
current-limiting circuit protects the
transceiver against damage. If the device heats up
due to a continuous short on CANH or CANL, the
internal overtemperature protection switches the bus
transmitter off.
1.2.7
RXD RECESSIVE CLAMPING
This fail-safe feature prevents the controller from
sending data on the bus if its RXD line is clamped to
high (for example, recessive). That is, if the RXD pin
cannot signal a dominant bus condition (for example,
because it is shorted to VCC), the transmitter within the
ATA6560/1 is disabled to avoid possible data collisions
on the bus. In Normal and Silent modes (only for the
ATA6560), the device permanently compares the state
of the HSC to the state of the RXD pin.
If the HSC indicates a dominant bus state for more than
tRC_det, without the RXD pin doing the same, a
recessive clamping situation is detected and the device
is forced into the Silent mode. This Fail-Safe mode is
released by entering either the Standby or the
Unpowered mode or if the RXD pin is showing a
dominant (for example, low) level again.
