Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of splitters, and in particular to a CAN bus splitter circuit. Background Art

[0002] Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication protocol bus for real-time applications. It can use twisted pair cables to transmit signals and is one of the most widely used fieldbuses in the world. The CAN protocol is used for communication between various components in the car to replace expensive and bulky distribution harnesses. The robustness of the protocol extends its use to other automation and industrial applications. The characteristics of the CAN protocol include complete serial data communication, real-time support, transmission speeds up to 1Mb / s, and 11-bit addressing and error detection capabilities.

[0003] CAN bus uses differential signal transmission, and usually only two signal lines are needed for normal communication. In differential signals, logic 0 and logic 1 are represented by the voltage difference between two differential signal lines. When in logic 1, the voltage difference between CAN_High and CAN_Low is less than 0.5V, which is called recessive level; when in logic 0, the voltage difference between CAN_High and CAN_Low is greater than 0.9V, which is called dominant level. The network topology of CAN bus is usually "hand in hand" to reduce the impact of impedance discontinuity and signal reflection; while other connection methods such as "tree topology" and "ring topology" need to rely on splitters or repeaters to build other bus topologies. When the network load is too heavy, the message competition is fierce, and the node priority is not set properly, it is easy to cause the message on the network to fail to pass correctly, so that the data transmission in the network cannot continue, and it cannot meet the complex and flexible communication needs. When multiple interfaces are communicating, it is easy to have high delays and low transmission rates. Summary of the invention

The signal transmission interface is used to transmit data sent by the CAN controller and the CAN transceiver, and cooperates with the logic gate circuit to realize CAN bus arbitration, so that the end that enters the dominant level first obtains the dominant right. Taking one controller port and two transceiver ports as an example, the information of the three ports can be intercommunication, and the two transceiver ports can connect two different CAN network topologies to realize communication between the two CAN network topologies.

[0030] Specifically, the controller interface includes a controller input interface T1 and a controller output interface R1, the main line network transceiver interface includes a first transceiver input interface R2 and a first transceiver output interface T2, and the secondary line network transceiver interface includes a second transceiver input interface R3 and a second transceiver output interface T3.

[0032] Please continue reading Figure 1-Figure 6 The controller input interface T1 and the first transceiver input interface R2 are electrically connected to pin 13 of the OR gate U1D, and the controller output interface R1 is electrically connected to pin 2 of the AND gate U3A; pin 8 of the OR gate U1C is electrically connected to pin 12 of the OR gate U1D, and pin 11 of the OR gate U1D is electrically connected to the second transceiver output interface T3 and pin 2 of the AND gate U2A.

[0033] Furthermore, the first transceiver input interface R2 is electrically connected to pin 3 of NOT gate U4B and pin 13 of OR gate U1D respectively, the first transceiver output interface T2 is electrically connected to pin 7 of AND gate U3A, and pin 4 of NOT gate U4B is electrically connected to pin 6 of AND gate U2B.

[0034] Further, the second transceiver input interface R3 is electrically connected to pin 1 of the OR gate U1A and pin 1 of the NOT gate U4A, and the second transceiver output interface T3 is electrically connected to pin 1 of the NOT gate U5A; pin 6 of the NOT gate U5A is electrically connected to pin 4 of the OR gate U1B, pin 5 of the OR gate U1B is electrically connected to pin 3 of the AND gate U2B, pin 6 of the OR gate U1B is electrically connected to pin 2 of the OR gate U1A, pin 3 of the OR gate U1A is respectively electrically connected to pin 1 of the AND gate U3A, pin 5 of the AND gate U2B and pin 3 of the NOT gate U5B, pin 4 of the NOT gate U5B is electrically connected to pin 10 of the OR gate U1C, pin 6 of the NOT gate U4A is electrically connected to pin 1 of the AND gate U2A, and pin 7 of the AND gate U2A is electrically connected to pin 9 of the OR gate U1C.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] The entire splitter circuit includes three inputs (controller input interface T1, first transceiver input interface R2, second transceiver input interface R3) and three outputs (controller output interface R1, first transceiver output interface T2, second transceiver output interface T3). The states of the three outputs are the results obtained after the timing combination of the three input signals is calculated through the logic gate circuit.

[0037] (1) If there is no message on the bus, the controller input interface T1, the first transceiver input interface R2, and the second transceiver input interface R3 are all high level, so by default the potentials of each point are as follows: Figure 3 As shown ("H" indicates high level, "L" indicates low level);

[0038] (2) If the network connected to transceiver 1 enters the dominant level first (i.e., the first transceiver input interface R2 becomes a low level), transceiver 1 first obtains the right to use the bus, and the potential of each point will change as follows: Figure 4As shown: at this time, the controller output interface R1 will also become low level, so that the controller receives the information of transceiver 1, and the second transceiver output interface T3 will also become low level, so that the network connected to transceiver 2 will also enter the dominant level synchronously, and the information of transceiver 1 will be synchronized to transceiver 2; and after the network connected to transceiver 2 enters the dominant level, the second transceiver input interface R3 will also become low level, and the levels of other points will not change. When the first transceiver input interface R2 returns to the high level again, the status of each point returns to the default level, and the controller output interface R1 and the second transceiver output interface T3 both return to the high level, so that the data of transceiver 1 is synchronously sent to the controller and transceiver 2.

[0039] (3) If the network connected to transceiver 2 enters the dominant level first (i.e., the second transceiver input interface R3 becomes a low level), similar to the case where the first transceiver input interface R2 is pulled low, transceiver 2 first obtains the right to use the bus, and the potential of each point will change as follows: Figure 5 As shown: the controller output interface R1 and the first transceiver output interface T2 will also become low level, so that the data of transceiver 2 is synchronously sent to the controller and transceiver 1.

[0040] (4) If the controller enters the dominant level first (i.e. the controller input interface T1 becomes low level), the potential of each point will change as follows Figure 6 As shown: the first transceiver output interface T2 and the second transceiver output interface T3 will also become a low level, sending the controller information to the two networks connected to transceiver 1 and transceiver 2.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the present application divides the controller CAN interface into two or more parts through a logic gate circuit, one path is normally connected to the main line network, and the other path can be connected to the branch network. Information exchange of multiple CAN bus networks is realized through transceiver interface 1, transceiver interface 2 and controller interface, which effectively reduces the delay, improves the transmission rate, avoids deadlock during bus transmission, and can adapt and build complex CAN network topology according to usage requirements.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
