Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a Controller Area Network, CAN, transceiver, comprising: a CAN BUS interface, a transmit data, TXD, interface, a receive data, RXD, interface, a receiver, and a transmitter, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive, via the TXD interface, from a CAN controller, a digital TXD transmit signal representing a frame, wherein the transmitter is configured to generate, at the CAN BUS interface, a BUS signal representing the bits of the frame in a sequence, wherein the transceiver is configured to measure an electrical current of the transmitter, to detect each dominant bit represented by the BUS signal based on the transmitter current, to detect an error sequence of at least six consecutive dominant bits being detected based on the transmitter current, and to generate a control signal representing a fault of the transmitter in response to a detected error sequence.
