BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0011] Figure 1 It is a structural block diagram of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention:
[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, a module based on discrete devices to implement SBC function is applied to automotive electronic modules, including a VBAT power supply terminal, an MCU microprocessor, a CAN chip, an LDO1 chip and an LDO2 chip. The CAN chip of the system is connected to the vehicle body through a BCAN bus, wherein the BCAN bus includes a BCAN_L signal line and a BCAN_H signal line.
[0014] The CAN chip, LDO1 chip and LDO2 chip are all connected to the VBAT power supply terminal. The CAN chip is connected to the MCU microprocessor through the CAN bus. The CAN bus includes a CAN_TX signal line and a CAN_RX signal line. The CAN chip is provided with a CAN_TX pin and a CAN_RX pin. The MCU microprocessor is connected to the CAN_TX pin and the CAN_RX pin of the CAN chip respectively through the CAN_TX signal line and the CAN_RX signal line; the CAN chip is provided with a VCC pin, a CAN_EN pin, a CAN_STB pin, an INH pin, a WAKE pin and an ERR pin. The MCU microprocessor is connected to the CAN_EN pin and the CAN_STB pin of the CAN chip respectively through the CAN_EN signal line and the CAN_STB signal line. A voltage-stabilized output terminal VCC1 and an input terminal INH1 are provided, and the voltage-stabilized output terminal VCC1 is connected to the VCC pin of the CAN chip. A voltage-stabilized output terminal VCC2 and an input terminal INH2 are provided on the LDO2 chip, and the voltage-stabilized output terminal VCC2 is connected to the MCU microprocessor. The input terminals INH1 and INH2 are both connected to the INH pin of the CAN chip. The WAKE pin of the CAN chip is connected to a wake-up trigger signal, and the ERR pin of the CAN chip is connected to the MCU microprocessor through an ERR signal line. The LDO2 chip is equipped with an external watchdog, and the MCU microprocessor is respectively connected to the input terminal WD and the output terminal RESET of the LDO2 chip through a WD signal line and a RESET signal line and performs watchdog monitoring. The LDO2 chip receives the WD signal given by the MCU microprocessor and feeds back a RESET signal to the MCU microprocessor.
[0015] Working principle: When the system is powered on, the INH pin of the CAN chip gives a high level, allowing the LDO1 chip and the LDO2 chip to work normally. At the same time, the LDO1 chip provides logic power to the CAN communication part of the CAN chip, and the LDO2 chip provides VCC2 power to the MCU microprocessor, allowing the MCU microprocessor to work normally.
[0016] When the whole system is in normal working mode, CAN_EN and CAN_STB of MCU microprocessor output high level. After CAN_EN and CAN_STB of CAN chip receive high level, CAN chip enters normal working mode, ERR pin of CAN chip outputs high level to MCU microprocessor, INH pin of CAN chip maintains high level output, vehicle body communicates with CAN chip through BCAN bus, CAN chip communicates with MCU microprocessor through CAN bus, MCU microprocessor outputs periodic PWM signal to input terminal WD of LDO2 chip, and output terminal RESET of LDO2 chip continuously outputs low level to MCU microprocessor;
[0017] When the MCU microprocessor works abnormally and cannot provide periodic PWM signal feeding to the LDO2 chip, the MCU microprocessor feeding times out, and the output terminal RESET of the LDO2 chip gives a high level, trying to reset and restart the MCU microprocessor;
[0018] When the CAN chip detects some faults, such as the process of input power boosting from undervoltage to normal input voltage, CAN bus communication failure with MCU microprocessor, etc., the ERR pin of the CAN chip outputs a high level to the MCU microprocessor, so that the MCU microprocessor can take corresponding measures according to these fault diagnoses;
[0019] When the whole system needs to enter the sleep mode, the MCU microprocessor outputs a low level through the CAN_STB signal line and a high level through the CAN_EN signal line to put the CAN chip into the standby mode, and then the WAKE FLAG of the CAN chip is cleared, and the whole system enters the sleep mode;
[0020] When the whole system is in sleep mode, the INH pin of the CAN chip outputs a low level, making the LDO1 chip and the LDO2 chip unable to work, the CAN communication part of the CAN chip stops working, and the MCU microprocessor also stops working;
[0021] When the entire system needs to enter normal working mode from sleep mode, that is, wake up, the vehicle body can send any message to the CAN chip through the CAN bus to wake up the CAN chip from sleep mode. After the CAN chip starts to work normally, the entire system starts to enter normal working mode. The vehicle body can also give a trigger signal. After the WAKE pin of the CAN chip receives the wake-up trigger signal, the CAN chip wakes up from sleep mode. After the CAN chip starts to work normally, the entire system starts to enter normal working mode.
[0022] The above embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
