SN65HVD251-Q1 Startup with Dominant status

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN65HVD251-Q1

Hi Team

  My customer is using SN65HVD251-Q1 for EV application, and the output shows dominant status when startup. 

  Change to NXP TJA1051 can solve this issue, so I'm wondering how's the output status when SN65HVD251-Q1 powered up. 

  Thanks. 

  • Hi Randy,

    This device is designed so that the bus pins remain in a high-impedance state during power-up, so I wouldn't expect a dominant glitch to occur. Do you think you could capture the VCC, D, CANH, and CANL signals on an oscilloscope when the device is powering up and outputting the dominant level so that we can better understand what is happening?

    Thank you,
    Max
  • Hi Max

      I re-tested the waveform, our device is working good behavior, however, NXP TJA1057 seems has output delay when startup, it means when the device powered up, the input D is low, so 251 is dominant, but TJA1057 is recessive.

      I'm wondering did you ever heard this kind of feature? thanks. 

  • Randy,

    I think this most likely just a difference in start-up times, not an intentional feature in the device. (I haven't heard of this being a concern at other customers.) You just need to make sure that the TXD line is not driven low when the transceiver starts up. Installing a pull-up resistor to VCC may help to accomplish this.
