TCAN1145-Q1: Interface forum

Part Number: TCAN1145-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello TI Team,

I'm working on developing the PN wake-up feature for the TCAN1145, but I can't get it to wake up from sleep mode. Can you help me figure out what's going wrong?

My test flow:

(1) When the MCU powers up, it initializes the TCAN1145 and sets it to Normal mode.

(2) The MCU starts sending CAN packets. After sending 500 packets, the TCAN1145 is set to Sleep mode.

(3) When a specific packet is received, the MCU can detect the wake-up signal by checking the TCAN1145's INH pin.

For the initialization of the TCAN1145, I followed TI's official documentation: "How Selective Wake Enables Partial Networking."

I referred to Table 5-4 (Valid Data Programming) and according to the test instructions, when the TCAN1145 receives 0x01 0x80, the TCAN1145's INH pin should go from low to high. However, I'm not seeing this happen.

Here is my initialization process:

(1) Reg=0x17, Data=0x02 //TCAN1145 software reset

(2) Reg=0x47, Data=0x00

(3) Reg=0x30, Data=0x00

(4) Reg=0x31, Data=0x00

(5) Reg=0x32, Data=0x04

(6) Reg=0x33, Data=0x8C

(7) Reg=0x34, Data=0x00

(8) Reg=0x35, Data=0x00

(9) Reg=0x36, Data=0x00

(10) Reg=0x37, Data=0x00

(11) Reg=0x38, Data=0x25

(12) Reg=0x39, Data=0x01

(13) Reg=0x40, Data=0x80 //I suspect there's a typo in the official documentation. I changed the address to 0x3A (the document states 0x40).

(14) Reg=0x44, Data=0xD0

(15) Reg=0x46, Data=0xFE

(16) Reg=0x47, Data=0x80

(17) Reg=0x10, Data=0x87 //TCAN1145 entry NormalMode

(18) MCU sending 500 CAN packets

(19) Reg=0x10, Data=0x81 //TCAN1145 entry SleepMode

(20) I used another CAN transceiver to send 0x01 0x80 on the bus, but the TCAN1145's INH pin didn't react at all.

Is there anything wrong with my software settings? Or do I need to confirm something on the hardware?

Hope to get your support as soon as possible, thank you!!

Hi WeiJie,

Your configuration method here looks correct. All of the appropriate registers have been configured, the SW_CFG bit has been set, and the device has been put into sleep mode with SW_EN set. If all the configured values match the WUF on the bus including the ID, DLC, and data, then this should wake the device from sleep mode and the INH signal will drive high.

Have you been able to confirm that SPI communication is working well between the transceiver and your MCU? A good way to check this is to write to and read from the scratchpad register 0Fh. This will ensure that the system is able to read and write correctly between the two devices.

Are you sure that the MCU is formatting the register address correctly? The first 7 bits of the transaction should be the address field and the last bit is the read/write bit. This means that the actual byte value of a write to the mode control register (address = 10h) would be 0x21

Are you sure that the ID of the wake up frame matches what is configured for the transceiver? Have you been able to test the device will the data mask enabled to see if wake via the CAN ID alone is working properly?
Please ensure that the wake up frame is being transmitted as a classic CAN frame (FD bit and BRS disabled) so that bit rate is constant throughout the frame. Note that partial networking does not support CAN FD frames.
If communication continues for while, do you observe the TCAN1145 wake up eventually due to a frame_overflow? This could indicate that the transceiver in unable to decode CAN communication possibly due to a misconfigured data rate or noise in the system.

Let me know if any of these tips help resolve this issue and if I can be of any more help. If none of these reveal the problem, I will probably ask you to share wakeforms of the CAN bus during the wake up frame to confirm that the message is being properly received by the transceiver.

Regards,
Eric Schott

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your prompt response.

(1) I've confirmed that the SPI communication is working correctly. I wrote 0x50 to register 0x0F and read it back, confirming that the value is also 0x50.

(2) I'm currently testing if I can wake up the system using a CAN ID. I can successfully wake it up with just the CAN ID, but not with the CAN ID and DATA combination. For example, my wake-up settings are ID=0x123 and DATA=0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08. However, when I send ID=0x123 and DATA=0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDD, 0xEE, 0xFF, 0xAA, 0xBB on the CAN bus, it still wakes up the system.

Here is my initialization process. I'm not sure where I might have gone wrong.
