This will always result in the bus being driven dominant. The bus will remain dominant until either the TXD pin is pulled high, or the dominant state timer triggers (anywhere between 20 and 80ms).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You will need to ensure that the TXD pin is high before switching into normal mode if you want to avoid a dominant signal being driven on the bus.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Please let me know if you have any other questions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;John&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: TL720M05-Q1 Question about Input Voltage Drop</title><link>http://e2e.ti.com/support/applications/automotive/f/26/t/272398.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:02:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">cb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:forum:272398</guid><dc:creator>HIDE</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have some questions about Input Voltage Drop on TL720M05-Q1.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This application is connecting 16 LDO Units&amp;nbsp;in parallel like below;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(Power: &amp;nbsp;+17V)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/26/8168.TL720M05_2D00_Q1.bmp"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt=" " src="http://e2e.ti.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/26/8168.TL720M05_2D00_Q1.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(1) Power ON with connecting 16 LDO units, but input voltage fall to 3V and all of units don&amp;#39;t work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(2) Remove LDO unit one by one.&amp;nbsp; When connecting 6 LDO Units, input voltage raise to 14V and output voltage reach to 5V.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(3) Add LDO unit one by one.&amp;nbsp; Work correctly until 11 units connection.&amp;nbsp; When connecting 12 unit, input voltage fall to 3V and all of units don&amp;#39;t work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;* I checked the power supply, but there is no probrem without current limit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/26/2742.TL720M05A_2D00_Q1_5F00_2.bmp"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt=" " src="http://e2e.ti.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/26/2742.TL720M05A_2D00_Q1_5F00_2.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Can you please advise me why unstable behavior happen?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Is there any protection work?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Is there any solution to solve this phenomenon?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hide&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: TL720M05-Q1 Output current limit specification</title><link>http://e2e.ti.com/support/applications/automotive/f/26/p/271180/951185.aspx#951185</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:44:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">cb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:forumreply:951185</guid><dc:creator>David Xu1</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Atsushi-san,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The current limit variation is mainly caused by process variation, the temp vs. current limit graph in the datasheet is drawn based on the test data on few devices which represent the typical value of most devices. In term of more accurate current limit, a trim module is needed which will lead to larger die size. For this device, there are not any trim module, so the current limit range is large.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;David Xu&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: The ultrasonic sensor for PGA450-Q1</title><link>http://e2e.ti.com/support/applications/automotive/f/26/t/272100.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jun 2013 09:16:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">cb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:forum:272100</guid><dc:creator>Atsushi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have a question of the ultrasonic sensor for PGA450-Q1.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We can use the frequency range 40kHz to 70kHz for Digital path.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So, usually, the frequency of the ultrasonic sensor should be 40kHz to 70kHz.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is it correnct?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And &amp;nbsp;I wolud like to confirm how much can PGA450-Q1 drive the frequency of the ultrasonic sensor&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;even if PGA450-Q1 can not receive the signal.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Atsushi Yamauchi&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: TPS7A6550-Q1 output capacitor</title><link>http://e2e.ti.com/support/applications/automotive/f/26/p/230463/950291.aspx#950291</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:27:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">cb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:forumreply:950291</guid><dc:creator>David Xu1</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Atsushi-san,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I am so sorry for the late reply as we had one week national holiday last week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our designer had get the simulation environment setted up for several days and they are doing the simulation currently.

Depending on what you want to do, the watchdog gets initialized or not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;color:black;font-size:9pt;"&gt;However, in order to reprogram your TMS570 you can do the following:&amp;nbsp;Power up your hardware with TMS570 held&amp;nbsp;in reset so that program execution cannot start and TPS65381 does not get initialized. After 600ms the TPS65381 enters SAFE state and you can release the reset from TMS570 and reprogram the device.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;color:black;font-size:9pt;"&gt;Following some more ideas how to get the TMS570 reprogrammed, but they require hardware modification:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;color:black;font-size:9pt;"&gt;1.
