The present disclosure relates to a controller area network, CAN, transceiver, comprising: a transmit data, TXD, interface, a receive data, RXD, interface, a CAN Bus interface, a transmitter, a receiver, a reducer, and a test unit, wherein the transmitter is coupled between the TXD interface and a test unit input of the test unit, a first test unit output of the test unit is coupled to the CAN Bus interface, the CAN Bus interface is coupled to a receiver input of the receiver via the reducer, a second test unit output of the test unit is coupled to the receiver input of the receiver, the test unit is configured, in a first state, to couple the test unit input to the first test unit output and is configured, in a second state, to couple the test unit input to the second test unit output.

Can transceiver and method for the can transceiver

The present disclosure relates to a CAN transceiver, comprising: a transmit data, TXD, interface, a CAN BUS interface, a first control interface, a transmitter, and a control unit, wherein the transmitter comprises a first driver path coupled to the CAN bus interface and comprising a first series circuit including first and second switch units the transmitter comprises a second driver path coupled to the CAN bus and comprising a second series circuit including third and fourth switch units, the transmitter comprises a driver unit configured to control the first and third switch units based on a TXD signal, and the control unit is configured to control the switch units based on a first control signal at the first control interface and, if the first control signal represents a deactivation message, to deactivate at least one switch unit of each driver path.

CAN transceiver and method for the CAN transceiver

The present invention relates to a CAN module configured to be arranged between a CAN controller and a CAN transceiver. The CAN module received a TXD input signal from the CAN controller and is configured to transmit an TXD output signal to the CAN transceiver, wherein the TXD output signal is adapted by the CAN module to also comprising a test impulse. When monitoring the CAN BUS, the CAN transceiver will feed back an RDX signal to the CAN module and the CAN controller. The CAN module is configured to detect an error on the CAN transceiver or the CAN BUS depending on the transmitted test impulse and the test impulse received via the RDX signal. The present inventio also relates to a system comprising the CAN module and a method for the CAN module.

CAN module, CAN transceiver, CAN system and method for CAN module

The present invention relates to a CAN node being configured to predict, based on the at least one response message and a reference response, a fault of the CAN network and to determine a fault location of the predicted fault of the CAN network. The present disclosure also relates to a CAN system and a method for the CAN node.

Controller area network node, CAN system and method for the node

An apparatus comprising a first and second terminal configured to couple the apparatus to a first and second bus wire of a communication bus; a transceiver arrangement for communicating with one or more network nodes via the communication bus, the transceiver arrangement configured to provide and receive differential signalling according to a communication scheme to/from the communication bus, wherein the communication scheme defines at least a voltage to be used to provide said differential signalling; the apparatus configured to: based on a fault detection signal indicative of the occurrence of a fault in at least the communication bus, transmit a reconfiguration signal for the network nodes and wherein at least part of the reconfiguration signal has a high-voltage-level comprising a voltage higher than that defined in the communication scheme for said differential signalling; and wherein said reconfiguration signal is configured to cause the network nodes to switch single-ended signalling.

Controller area network apparatus with reconfiguration signalling

A transceiver has a first interface supplied by a first supply voltage to interface with external devices operating in a first supply domain and a second interface supplied by a second supply voltage and adapted to interface to an external communication bus operating in a second supply domain. The transceiver has a first internal communication link, which is adapted to transfer transmit data generated by an external device operating in the first supply domain, from the first interface to the second interface, and a second internal communication link, which is adapted to transfer transmit data be supplied from the external communication bus operating in the second supply domain from the second interface to the first interface.
