TLIN1029-Q1: TXD changes to 5V and RXD changes to 0V immediately after 1K ohm connected between LIN BUS and Ground

Part Number: TLIN1029-Q1

The the voltage supply of PCB is 8V-16V, at the beginning, the LIN BUS is in normal mode and LIN communication is in normal, LIN BUS / TXD / RXD waveforms are in normal LIN communication state monitored by a oscilloscope, but TXD changes to 5V and RXD changes to 0V immediately after R2 1K ohm connected between LIN BUS and Ground, the voltage of LIN BUS changes to recessive level at the same time, after removed the 1K connection to LIN BUS, LIN BUS / TXD / RXD waveforms change back to normal LIN communication state immediately;

iI 1K ohm is replaced by 2.7K ohm or 20K ohm to do the same operation, TXD doesn't change to 5V and RXD doesn't change to 0V, LIN BUS / TXD / RXD waveforms are still in normal LIN communication state, just the voltage of LIN BUS is reduced about 10%;

Why TXD changes to 5V and RXD changes to 0V mmediately after 1K ohm connected between LIN BUS and Ground? and this doesn't happen with 2.7K or 20K?

  • Carl,

    RXD changes to 0V immediately after R2 1K ohm connected between LIN BUS and Ground

    When you attach a 1 kΩ pull-down, you're creating a voltage divider that results in the maximum voltage of the LIN bus being capped at VSUP/2. This would not be registered as a high-level signal on LIN, so RXD would stay low.

    The other weaker resistances (2.7k or 20k) would allow the high-level signal to remain high enough to register as a recessive LIN signal and pass as a logic 1 on RXD.

    Why TXD changes to 5V

    TXD is an input. The TLIN1029-Q1 does not control the state of TXD aside from a weak internal pull-down resistor.

    May I ask why you are adding a pull-down resistor on LIN?

    Best,
