Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of CAN bus transceivers, and more specifically to a current limiting protection circuit and a CAN bus transceiver. Background Technology
[0002] The CAN bus transceiver is a key component in a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus communication system. As the interface between the controller and the physical bus, it is responsible for converting the logic-level signals output by the controller into differential signals conforming to the CAN protocol specification, and simultaneously restoring the differential signals transmitted on the bus back to logic levels for controller processing. Its core function is to achieve signal level conversion and electrical isolation, ensuring communication reliability and interference immunity. In a CAN network, the transceiver typically uses differential transmission, transmitting complementary voltage signals through two signal lines (CAN_H and CAN_L). This design effectively suppresses common-mode noise and improves electromagnetic interference immunity, making it particularly suitable for highly interference-prone environments such as industrial automation and automotive electronics.
[0003] However, the current limiting protection mechanism of existing CAN bus transceivers is based on the current limiting protection circuit of traditional voltage comparators, which requires a stable reference voltage source, a high-gain amplifier and a comparator, increasing the response delay, chip design complexity and static power consumption.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. When the high-voltage side current limiting protection unit and the low-voltage side current limiting protection unit trigger short-circuit current limiting protection, they increase the voltage drop across the sensing resistor, increase the voltage of the drive signal PDRIVER, and decrease the voltage of the drive signal NDRIVER, weakening the conduction of the drive transistor and thus limiting the fault current. This current limiting protection is a continuous clamping process, and the drive transistor still maintains a relatively small dominant current under the current limiting state. The bus physical layer remains in a dominant state and will not cause bus error frames, retransmissions, or communication interruptions due to node protection. This avoids relying on thermal shutdown protection, which directly cuts off current conduction, improving system communication reliability and meeting the functional safety requirements for communication continuity. At the same time, by utilizing the characteristics of the common-gate amplifier—no Miller effect and the fact that the gain term does not appear in the denominator of the bandwidth formula—extremely high bandwidth can be obtained by reducing CL or Rload, resulting in a faster system response. Symmetrical high-voltage side current limiting protection and low-voltage side current limiting protection are set to ensure consistent protection capabilities against CANH to ground short circuits and CANL to high-voltage short circuits.
[0016] 2. When the external input signal TXD is left floating, a constant current source charges the pin, pulling its voltage up to near VCC, thus reliably identifying it as a logic high. Due to this constant current, if the MCU loses its driving capability, the external input signal TXD voltage will be immediately and definitively pulled high, and the CAN bus transceiver will automatically enter a recessive state, preventing the bus from being accidentally locked in a dominant state and paralyzing the entire network. When the external enable signal STB is high, the CAN bus transceiver enters a recessive state; when STB is low, the CAN bus transceiver enters a dominant state. Attached Figure Description

An external constant bias voltage VB2 is input to the gate of MOSFET N14; the external constant bias voltage VB2 is used to control MOSFET N14 to provide a constant drain current I_BIAS, specifically, I_BIAS≈0.5*μn*Cox*(W / L). N14 *(VB2-Vth) 2 Where μn is the electron migration rate, Cox is the gate oxide capacitance per unit area, and Vth is the NMOS threshold voltage (W / L).

[0048] For further details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2-4 This embodiment also discloses a CAN bus transceiver, including the above-mentioned current limiting protection circuit and signal receiving module output module; External input signal TXD and enable signal STB are input to the signal receiving module. The signal receiving module outputs signals TXDP and TXDN to the drive component. The signal receiving module outputs signals STBP and STBN to the enable switch component. The drive component outputs drive signals PDRIVER and NDRIVER to the output module. The output module outputs signals CANH and CANL.
[0049] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 Specifically, the signal receiving module includes MOSFETs P2, P3, N2, and N3, inverters U100, U101, U103, U104, U105, and U106, NOR gate U102, and resistors R2 and R3.

[0051] The gate and drain of MOSFET P2 are electrically connected to the gate of MOSFET P3 and the drain of MOSFET N3. The drain of MOSFET P3 is electrically connected to the gate, source, and input terminal of inverter U100 of MOSFET N2. The other end of resistor R2 is electrically connected to the drain of MOSFET N2.

[0054] Resistor R2, MOSFET N2, and resistor R3 form an input surge protection structure to protect against transient overshoot. MOSFETs N3, P2, and P3 form a current mirror, acting as a constant current source. When the external input signal TXD is left floating, the constant current source charges the pin, pulling its voltage up to near VCC, thus reliably identifying it as a logic high. Due to this constant current, if the MCU loses its driving capability, the external input signal TXD voltage will be immediately and definitively pulled high, and the CAN bus transceiver will automatically enter a recessive state, preventing the bus from being accidentally locked in a dominant state and paralyzing the entire network. When the external enable signal STB is high, the CAN bus transceiver enters a recessive state; when STB is low, the CAN bus transceiver enters a dominant state.
[0055] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 Specifically, the output module includes MOSFETs P0, P1, N100, N0, N1, and N101, and resistors R0 and R1.
[0056] The source of MOSFET P1 and one end of resistor R0 are both electrically connected to the external power supply VCC. The other end of resistor R0 is electrically connected to the source of MOSFET P0 and also electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the high-voltage side current limiting protection unit; that is, the other end of resistor R0 is electrically connected to the source of MOSFET P0 and the source of MOSFET P4. The signal input terminal of the low-voltage side current limiting protection unit is electrically connected to one end of resistor R1 and the source of MOSFET N0; that is, the source of MOSFET N8 is electrically connected to one end of resistor R1 and the source of MOSFET N0.
[0057] The drive component outputs a drive signal PDRIVER to the gates of MOSFETs P0 and P1. The drains of MOSFETs P0 and P1 are electrically connected to the gate and source of MOSFET N100. The drain of MOSFET N100 outputs a signal CANH. The drive component outputs a drive signal NDRIVER to the gates of MOSFETs N0 and N1. The drains of MOSFETs N0 and N1 are electrically connected to the drain of MOSFET N101. The gate and source of MOSFET N101 output a signal CANL. The other end of resistor R1 and the source of MOSFET N1 are both grounded.
[0058] MOSFETs N100 and N101 are both diode-connected NMOS transistors, using a body diode for output reverse protection. Resistors R0 and R1 are sensing resistors; MOSFETs P0 and N0 are current sampling transistors. MOSFETs P1 and N1 are output power transistors.
[0059] In this embodiment, all MOSFETs are SOI MOSFETs, meaning they are supplied using Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology. In practical applications, the CANH and CANL pins typically need to withstand high positive and negative voltages. Traditional bulk silicon CMOS vertical DMOS structures usually have an inherent parasitic body diode that conducts when the pin voltage is lower than the substrate potential. If a bulk silicon CMOS process is used, when the CANH and CANL pins are connected to a negative high voltage, a huge leakage current will flow from GND to the negative voltage pin, disrupting the high-resistance state and normal function of the circuit. By adding a buried oxide layer on the traditional bulk silicon CMOS substrate to create dielectric isolation, in SOI, each NMOS or PMOS is an isolation island surrounded by silicon dioxide. Its body region is insulated from the substrate, thus eliminating the parasitic PN junction diode from the source / drain region to the common substrate, preventing large leakage currents during forward conduction. Taking high-voltage side current limiting protection as an example, V_PBACK is the induced voltage on the high-voltage side. In the small-signal model, the voltage gain AV of the common-gate amplifier on the high-voltage side is AV = Vout / V_PBACK ≈ gm4*Rload, where Vout is the drain voltage of MOSFET P4, which is also the output voltage of the common-gate amplifier, gm4 is the transconductance of MOSFET P4, Rload is the equivalent load resistance seen from the drain of MOSFET P4, and * is the multiplication operator.
[0060] Therefore, the drain voltage Vout of MOSFET P4 is approximately gm4*Rload*V_PBACK. Since gm4*Rload is much greater than 1, the small voltage fluctuation of V_PBACK at the signal input terminal of the high-voltage side current limiting protection unit can be rapidly amplified into a large voltage change, thereby increasing the ability to drive the subsequent MOSFET P21.
[0061] When short-circuit current limiting protection is triggered, the induced current on PBACK increases, the voltage drop across the sensing resistor R0 increases, and V_PBACK decreases. Therefore, the output voltage of the common-gate amplifier is also momentarily pulled down, increasing the absolute negative value of the gate voltage of MOSFET P21, thus enhancing the conduction of MOSFET P21. This enhanced conduction of MOSFET P21 pulls up the drive signal PDRIVER, causing the absolute negative value of the gate voltage of MOSFETs P0 and P1 to decrease, thereby weakening their conduction and limiting the fault current. At this time, MOSFETs P0 and P1 are not completely turned off, but maintain a small dominant current. The bus physical layer remains in a dominant state, preventing bus error frames, retransmissions, or communication interruptions caused by node protection. This continuous and smooth clamping adjustment avoids the oscillation problem caused by frequent toggling near the threshold when using digital comparators, and also avoids the risk of voltage spikes on the bus caused by direct turn-off.
[0062] Meanwhile, the -3dB bandwidth f of a traditional comparator −3dB≈gm / (2pi*CM*AV), where pi is the mathematical constant pi, gm is the transconductance of the comparator, CM is the Miller capacitance, and AV is the gain of the comparator. To achieve high-precision comparison, high gain is required, which directly leads to narrower bandwidth and slower response. The -3dB bandwidth f of the common-gate amplifier composed of MOSFETs P4, P5, N4, and N5 is approximately 1 / (2pi*Rload*CL). Here, pi is the mathematical constant pi, Rload is the equivalent load resistance seen from the drain of MOSFET P4, and CL is the equivalent load capacitance of the output node. Therefore, while obtaining the necessary gain, extremely high bandwidth can be achieved by reducing CL or Rload. Since the system response time is inversely proportional to the bandwidth, high bandwidth results in a faster system response, effectively overcoming the slow response of current limiting protection and reliance on thermal shutdown in existing CAN bus transceivers. Similarly, low-voltage side current limiting protection ensures consistent protection capabilities against CANH short circuits to ground and CANL high-voltage short circuits by setting symmetrical high-voltage side and low-voltage side current limiting protection.
[0063] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 , attached Figure 4 This is a simulation diagram of a CAN bus transceiver using the current-limiting protection circuit disclosed in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the external power supply voltage VCC = 5V, TXD is connected to a square wave signal, STB = 0 is the enabled state, CANH is short-circuited to ground, and CANL is short-circuited to the high voltage of 20V. (See attached diagram.) Figure 4 It can be seen that the short-circuit current on the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side are basically the same in magnitude and the response speed is also basically the same. The high-voltage side current limiting protection unit and the low-voltage side current limiting protection unit ensure that the current limiting threshold is symmetrical, ensuring that the maximum transient power consumption that the chip can withstand is balanced under different faults and ensuring symmetrical response speed, avoiding additional heat accumulation and stress caused by slow response on one side.
