www.ams.com/lin_companionic/as8530 revision 1.1 13 - 32 as8530 datasheet - detailed description 7 detailed description the as8530 chip consists of a low drop-out regulator and a lin bus transceiver, which is a bi-directional bus interface for dat a transfer between lin bus and the lin protocol controller. additionally integrated is a reset unit with a power-on-reset delay and a programmable window watchdog. it also includes a watchdog time-out on lin tx node to indicate if the microcontroller is stuck in a loop and to rele ase unintentional lin bus dominant state. 7.1 voltage regulator (ldo) the voltage regulator has three operating modes. the features of the operating modes are given below: ?? normal mode: stability to be better 0.25v over input range and temperature for load current up to 50ma. the ldo output provides a voltage of 5v or 3.3v as otp option. ?? standby mode: the standby mode is a low quiescent current mode used in car applications that are always switched on. the load current in standby mode is 5ma. quiescent current (no load) is less than 45ma typically at room temperature. ?? sleep mode: power down or temporary shutdown of the regulator can be set by a register bit. this bit can be written through 2-wire mcu interface. the ldo takes the input from bandgap and scales it up to the required voltage. the ldo starts charging only after the por-v sup event occurs (reset_vsup_n switched from low to high). the ldo can be powered- down by a control signal (temporary shutdown register) for the temporary shutdown mode. 7.2 temperature limiter temperature limiter produces a power down when temperature exceed s 155oc 10%. it powers up and generates a reset when it retur ns to 135oc 10% junction temperature. during thermal shut down, temperature sensor is supplied by v sup . during the temperature ramp-up phase, as soon as the temperature exceeds 135oc 10%, a warning signal is issued and is written into the diagnostic register, which ca n be read through the sp interface. 7.3 v sup undervoltage reset v sup undervoltage reset generates a reset reset_vsup_n, switched from low to high when v sup ramps up above vsuvr_off. this is used to enable proper initialization of mode control and diagnostic registers. if v sup < vsuvr_on, then reset_ vsup_n switches from high level to low level (active). this is considered to be the master reset and will have the highest priority over all other signal s. as soon as v sup < vsuvr_on, the ldo, lin transceiver is completely shut off and system comes to a complete stop. as8530 enters into the normal op erating mode only after v sup > vsuvr_off. 7.3.1 v sup undervoltage in normal mode supply voltages below vsuvr_off and above vsuvr_on do not influence the voltage regulator. the output voltage v cc follows v sup . 7.3.2 v sup undervoltage in standby mode / sleep mode no exit from the sleep mode or standby mode take place if the v sup voltage drops down to vsuvr_off. if v sup goes below vsuvr_on, reset_vsup_n is active and resets the mode control and diagnosti c register. the voltage regulator, lin transceiver modules are turned off. if v sup rises again above vsuvr_off, reset_vsup_n is switched from low to hi gh. the system enters norma l mode where lin transceiver and ldo are switched on. 7.3.3 v sup undervoltage in low slew mode the behavior of as8530 at low v sup voltages is equal to the sleep mode. the low slew mode (set by control register through serial interface as an option) will be cancelled, if v sup drops below vsuvr_on in this mode. the as8530 enters the normal mode, if v sup rises again above vsuvr_off.
www.ams.com/lin_companionic/as8530 revision 1.1 14 - 32 as8530 datasheet - detailed description 7.4 reset reset generates an external reset signal to reset the microcontroller a nd all other exter nal circuits. the reset functionality is illustrated in figure 4 . reset consists of a digi tal buffer at the output. reset sign al can be affected by reset_vcc_n (which is the u nder-voltage res et on v cc ) and window watchdog output. all those conditions which cause a drop in the v cc voltage will be detected from the low voltage reset unit, which in-turn generates a reset signal. states like temporary shut-down, over-temperature monitor will influence the reset outp ut through reset_vcc_n signal only. figure 4. reset functionality 7.5 v cc undervoltage reset the por-vcc generates reset_vcc_n signal as output which determines under-voltage reset of the output of the ldo. the rising ed ge of the v cc gives an under-voltage reset ?off? and the falling edge of the v cc gives an under-voltage reset ?on?. this under-voltage signal is used to control the reset output. when v cc rises up vuvr_off for a period greater than reset duration (tres) then reset_vcc_n switches from low level to high level and pin r eset is inactive (high). if v cc falls below vuvr_on for a period grea ter than a predetermined delay (trr) then reset_vcc_n switches from high level to low level an d pin reset is active (low). the rese t_vcc_n signal is us ed to initializes window watchdog timer, tx time-out, test control circuits, 2-wire sp, and logic associated with sp (everything other than the sp contr ol registers). v cc under-voltage reset threshold voltage level adjustment can be made by 2 bit otp as explained in otp interface. 7.6 window watchdog (wwd) to keep the external microcontroller always in proper function state, a window watchdog circuit is implemented. the wwd trigger is generated by external mcu through sp interface. if the window is missed, a reset on the reset pin with certain reset time (t res ) is generated. the wwd function can be e nabled or disabled by fact ory setting. the watchdog is started after the assp exits reset. under normal workin g conditions, microcontroller gives a wwd trigger every time in the window peri od of wd_tsv (service time). if the trigger does not occur dur ing wd_tsv or occurs too early during wd_tcl (n on-service time), then reset ou tput is pulled low (active), wh ich will reset the micro-control ler. wwd circuit is turned on after the reset pin goe s back to high (inactive). if v cc < vuvr_on, wwd circuit is switched off. when the wwd function is enabled, there is a 3-bit factory programming available to set the trigger window. vcc vsup vuvr_off t res t rr t>tj t www.ams.com/lin_companionic/as8530 revision 1.1 15 - 32 as8530 datasheet - detailed description figure 5. window watchdog trigger 7.7 lin transceiver the transceiver provides short circuit limitation, hardware watchdog and over temperature shut down features. the tx watchdog t imer is active when tx is pulled low (active). as soon as the tx watchdog timeout occurs, the lin bus is released from dominant state to reces sive state. the lin transceiver has a pull-up resistor (for the slave node; extra resistor externally for the master node) to the v sup . a diode protection is available to protect it from back supply from bus line. the lin transmitter has the basic functionality of relaying the data from the micro-controller on to the lin. the data on the l in needs to have controlled slew to have reduced emi. the receiver relays the data from the lin to the micro-controller. this transmitter has op timized emc performance across different loading conditions conforming to the lin 2.1 standards. the wake-up detects a wake up event on the lin. 7.8 operating modes and states the as8530 provides four main operating modes ?normal?, ?sleep /stand-by? (programmed by otp), ?temporary shutdown? and ?thermal shutdown?. the lin transceiver can be programmed to operate with lower slew in the normal mode. refer to table 3 for a detailed description on transition for each mode. 7.8.1 normal mode this is the mode after the power-up. in normal mode, ldo, lin transceiver, window watchdog, resistive divider and the line driv ers are all turned on. all the blocks are completely functional. ldo is now capable of delivering maximum load current possible as per the device specifications. the lin transceiver is capable of sending the tx data from microcontroller to the lin bus at a maximum rate of 20kbps. en signal is set to high and lin, tx, rx pins can be driven into dominant (low) or recessive (high) states. if the junction temper ature increases more than t otset , a warning flag is set in the diagnostic register, which can be read through the 2-wire interface. 7.8.2 standby mode standby mode is a functional low-power mode where lin transceiver is disabled. the lin wake-up circuit and over-temperature mon itor circuit is enabled. window watchdog, tx timeout watchdog, resistive divider, relay driver circuits are disabled. en pin held low in thi s mode. tx pin is in recessive state (high). cs is pulled to v cc while sdi and sclk ou tputs are pulled to vss. 7.8.3 sleep mode as a factory programming option on request the as8530 offers as a replacement to the standby mode with sleep mode. sleep mode i s the most current saving mode. if en is held low, the ldo, lin transceiver and the reset and window watchdog unit will be switched off. v cc is pulled down to zero. the lin wake-up circuit, oscillator and over-temperature monitor circuit is active. lin bus is in recessive state (high). only wake- up possible is through remote wake-up, through lin pin, pulling it to dominant state for 100s typical (low), can change the st ate of the system. period non-service time (wd_tcl) service time (wd_tsv) trigger restart period trigger via spi last trigger point earliest possible trigger point (system will not reset) latest possible trigger point (system will not be reset) 50 % 100 % valid trigger point (system will not be reset) unwanted trigger point (system will be reset)

www.ams.com/lin_companionic/as8530 revision 1.1 19 - 32 as8530 datasheet - application information 8.2 wake-up if the regulator is put into sleep/standby mode, it can be woken up with the bus interface. a transition on the bus (high to lo w) with a minimum predefined low time (t wake ) puts the regulator into normal mode. 8.3 over-temperature shutdown if the junction temperature increases beyond t sd the over-temperature recognition will be activated and the regulator voltage will be switched off. the v cc voltage drops down, the reset state is entered and the bus transceiver is switched off (recessive state). after t j falls below t ret , the as8530 will be initialized again. this initialization starts independently from the voltage levels on en and bus. within the th ermal shutdown mode, the transceiver cannot switch to the normal mode either with local or with remote wake-up. the operation of the as8530 is possible between t j (125oc) and the switch off temperature t sd , but small parameter differences can appear. after over-temperature switch-off, the ic initializes as explained in initialization on page 18 . the low slew mode for lin transceiver has to be selected again on re-initialization, if necessary. 8.4 lin bus transceiver the as8530 has an integrated bi-directional bus interface device for data transfer between lin bus and the lin protocol control ler. the transceiver consists of a driver with slew rate control, wave shaping and current limitation and a receiver with high voltage c omparator followed by a de-bouncing unit. 8.4.1 transmit mode during transmission the data at the pin tx will be transferred to the bus driver to generate a bus signal. to minimize the elec tromagnetic emission of the bus line, the bus driver has an integrated slew rate control and wave shaping unit. transmitting will be interrupted in the following cases: ?? sleep mode ?? thermal shutdown active ?? master reset (v sup < vsuvr_on) the recessive bus level is generated from the integrated 30k pull up resistor in serial with an active diode this diode prevent s the reverse current of vbus during differential voltage between v sup and bus (vbus>v sup ). no additional termination resistor is necessary to use the as8530 in lin slave nodes. if this ic is used for lin master nodes it is necessary that the bus pin is terminated via an extern al 1k resistor in series with a diode to vbat. table 4. v sup >vsuvr_on and v cc www.ams.com/lin_companionic/as8530 revision 1.1 20 - 32 as8530 datasheet - application information 8.4.2 receive mode the data signals from the bus pin will be transferred continuously to the pin rx. short spikes on the bus signal are suppressed by the implemented de-bouncing circuit. including all tolerances the lin specific receive threshold values of 0.4*v sup and 0.6*v sup will be securely observed. figure 8. receive mode impulse diagram 8.5 rx and tx interface input tx. the 5v input tx controls directly the bus level. lin transmitter acts like a slew-controlled level shifter. a dominant state (l ow) on tx leads to the lin bus being pulled low (dominant state) too. the tx pin has an internal active pull up connected to v cc . this guarantees that an open tx pin generates a recessive bus level. figure 9. tx input circuitry t < t deb_bus t < t deb_bus rx bus 40% 50% 60% v thr_max v thr_min v thr_hys v thr_cnt as8530 vcc mcu rc-filter (10ns) vcc i pu_txd tx
