- Each CAN-bit is broken up into 4 non-overlapping segments.
- tNBT = tSYNC_SEG
+ tPROP_SEG + tPHASE_SEG1 + tPHASE_SEG2
- Each of these
segments is an integer multiple of a unit of time called a Time Quantum.
- The duration of a
Time Quantum is equal to the period of the CAN system
clock, which is derived from the microcontroller
(MCU) system clock or oscillator by way of a programmable prescaler,
called the Baud Rate Prescaler.
- The lengths of
these segments are set during the CAN initialization/configuration.
- The CAN controller
samples each CAN-bit on the bus at the Sample Point.
- The CAN bit sample
point is between tPHASE_SEG1 and tPHASE_SEG2.
- Valid range for
location of sample point is from 75% to 90%.
- Note*: Use
sample points of 80%
to 90%.
- Recommended
location of sample point is 87,5%.
