TCAN1042H: Driver dominant time out - Data rates down to 10 kbps

Part Number: TCAN1042H

Hi Team,

Customer is asking about Driver dominant time out - Data rates down to 10 kbps spec, how is it determined? through Dominant timeout spec?

Customer would like to know detail.

Thanks!

Andrew

  • Hi Andrew,

    This is determined based on the maximum number of consecutive dominant bits possible in a CAN signal: 5 dominant bits followed by and error frame (6 dominant bits). The minimum data rate is then determined based on these eleven bits taking up the entire DTO time. Min rate = 11bits / 1.2ms ~= 10kbps. There's a short note in the datasheet describing this estimation as well in Section 9.3.1. 

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Regards,
    Eric Schott
