7.12 CAN Transceiver

The AS8650B provides an advanced interface between the protocol controller and the physical bus in a Controller Area Network (CAN) node.

This is intended for automotive high-speed CAN application (up to 1 Mbit/s), providing differential transmit capability to the bus and differential

receive capability to the CAN controller. It is fully compatible to the ISO 11898-5 standard and offers excellent Electromagnetic Compatibility

(EMC) performance. The CAN is a high-speed, low complexity protocol with improved EMI and EMC performance. The CAN is a serial

communication protocol efficiently supporting the control of mechatronic nodes in a distributive automotive application. The basic blocks of the

CAN Transceiver are described below:

7.12.1 BUS Driver

This driver has the basic functionality of relaying the data from the microcontroller on to the CAN bus. The data on the CAN needs to have a

controlled slew to reduced EMI. A low side driver is used which has an inherent reverse polarity protection. It has a Short-Circuit current

limitation.

7.12.2 Normal Receiver

It relays the data from the CAN bus to the microcontroller in Normal mode.

7.12.3 Low Power Receiver

It relays the data from the CAN bus to the microcontroller in low power mode state.

7.12.4 Operating Modes

The CAN Transceiver provides the following operating modes:



NORMAL: Non low power mode



RECEIVE-ONLY: Non low power mode



STANDBY: Low power mode



SLEEP: Low power mode

detector is active. The power consumption is significantly reduced respect the non low power operation modes. The WAKE_REMOTE reflects

the remote wake up detector output; WAKE_LOCAL reflects the input signal on WAKE pin.

7.12.5 Local Wake-up Event

The WAKE pin is pulled-down to ground using the internal resistor. In all low power modes, if the voltage on the WAKE pin rises above

Figure 9. Valid WAKE is detected only at the positive edge of the WAKE pin.
