TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION NOTES
CAN Driver Overtemperature:
In case of an overtemperature condition at the CANH or
CANL driver, the driver will be automatically disabled and the
THERM bit set in the CAN register. If enabled, an interrupt
will be signalled. The GFAIL flag is set in the MCR register.
When the CAN is in an overtemperature situation, the
device is no longer able to transmit. As soon as the
temperature is below the overtemperature level minus
hysteresis, the CAN driver is automatically re-enabled.
The THERM bit is latched and two conditions are
necessary to clear it:
No longer “CAN overtemperature situation” AND
Read operation of the CAN register.
Overcurrent Detection:
The CAN interface can detect and signal over current
condition, occurring for instance in case of CANL shorted to
VBAT. This is signalled by the bit CUR in the CAN register.
An INT can be enabled, and GFAIL bit is set. The CUR bit is
latched and two conditions are necessary to clear it:
No longer “CAN over current situation” AND
Read operation of the CAN register.
Protection
The MC33989 CAN output is protected for automotive
environments.
The CAN driver is protected against overtemperature and
overcurrent.
ISO7637 Transient
The CANH and CANL are rated from +40 Vdc to -27 Vdc.
This means that the MC33989 CAN output can handle failure
situations like the bus directly shorted to the battery line in a
load dump situation (+40 V).
Ground disconnection of the module will lead to the CANH
and CANL line floating high to the VBAT supply. The rest of
the network will not be affected. However the CANH and
CANL lines of the ungrounded module will see a negative
voltage of the VBAT value, with respect to their gnd level.
Such situations can be handled by the CAN interface of the
MC33989, but also in cases of a jump start (battery at 27 V)
and gnd disconnection.
Fast transient pulses, ISO7637-3. During these pulses, the
maximum rating of the CANH and CANL lines of +40 Vdc and
-27 Vdc must be respected.
ESD
The CANH and CANL line of the MC33989 are rated at
±4 kV. An external capacitor between CANH and CANL to
gnd or a zener diode suppressor can be added to ensure a
higher module resistance to ESD.
Current in Case of Bus Short Conditions
In case of short circuit condition on the CAN bus the
current in the CAN supply, the CAN line can be different from
the nominal case. The

various cases.
