Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In bus systems, particularly in CAN and CAN FD communication, there is a tendency for oscillation during transitions from dominant to recessive bit states, leading to increased bit times and reduced transmission rates due to insufficient damping, which limits design flexibility and increases error rates.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of additional drivers on bus cores to reduce oscillation duration by actively managing the transition from dominant to recessive states, using driver simulations and RS timing control to minimize energy in the oscillating circuit and optimize bus state changes.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If additional drivers are added to reduce oscillation, then oscillation duration is reduced and transmission rate increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transceiver is divided into functional segments: a driver stage for signal transmission, a receiver stage for signal detection, and an oscillation reduction stage with additional drivers. Each segment handles specific tasks independently, allowing the oscillation reduction functionality to be added without redesigning the entire device, thus managing complexity while improving transmission rate.
Solution Approach 2:
Additional driver circuits are introduced as intermediary elements between the transceiver and the bus wires. These intermediate drivers actively manage the transition between dominant and recessive states by providing controlled current paths, thereby reducing oscillation duration and enabling higher transmission rates without fundamentally changing the core transceiver architecture.
2Stability of the object's composition
If bit time is extended to dampen oscillation, then oscillation is reduced, but transmission rate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The additional drivers in the oscillation reduction stage are activated in advance during state transitions to preemptively dampen oscillations. By applying damping current before the oscillation can fully develop, the system achieves stable bus states without extending the bit time, thereby maintaining high transmission rates while ensuring signal stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The oscillation reduction stage dynamically changes electrical parameters (current magnitude and direction) during state transitions. By adjusting these parameters in real-time based on the transition state, the system effectively dampens oscillations without requiring longer bit times, thus preserving high transmission rates while achieving signal stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If additional drivers are added to manage state transitions, then oscillation is reduced and design freedom increases, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The additional drivers in the oscillation reduction stage are designed with multi-functionality: they operate during dominant-to-recessive transitions to prevent oscillation, and can be configured for different bus topologies and termination schemes. This universal design allows the same circuit architecture to serve multiple application scenarios, increasing design freedom while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized components.
