Fail-safe Features
Voltage Regulator
The voltage regulator needs an external capacitor for compensation and for smoothing the dis-
turbances from the microcontroller. It is recommended to use an electrolythic capacitor with
C > 10 µF and a ceramic capacitor with C = 100 nF. The values of these capacitors can be var-
ied by the customer, depending on the application.
The main power dissipation of the IC is created from the VCC output current I
needed for the application.
• During a short-circuit at LIN to V
• During a short-circuit from LIN to GND the IC can be switched into Sleep or Silent Mode. If
• The reverse current is very low < 2 µA at the LIN pin during loss of V
• During a short circuit at VCC, the output limits the output current to I
• EN pin provides a pull-down resistor to force the transceiver into recessive mode if EN is
• RXD pin is set floating if V
• TXD pin provides a pull-up resistor to force the transceiver into recessive mode if TXD is
• If TXD is short-circuited to GND, it is possible to switch to Sleep Mode via ENABLE after
• If the WD_OSC pin has a short-circuit to GND or the resistor is disconnected, the watchdog
