TCAN4551-Q1: Bus Monitoring Mode

Part Number: TCAN4551-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN4550

Tool/software:

I have a question about the "Bus Monitoring Mode" mentioned in the TCAN4551-Q1 documentation.

If this mode is enabled, will the TCAN4551-Q1 not send an ACK when receiving data from another CAN node?

  • Hi Nomura-san,

    This is correct, when the TCAN4551-Q1 is in the Bus Monitoring Mode, it will only send recessive bits on the CAN bus.  This means it will NOT transmit a dominant ACK bit on the bus when it receives a message on the bus. 

    You can find more information about the Bus Monitoring Mode, and all of the other MCAN features in the Bosch M_CAN User's Manual (Link)

    Additional resources that you should be aware of for information are:
