Abstract
A wake-up circuit for a ECU on a ECN utilizes two complementary switching transistors which will turn ON when there is a differential voltage between CANH and CANL which will turn ON the transistors to pass a current which will be mirrored over to create a voltage which will switch a comparator or a Schmitt trigger. The two signals are then ORed together to generate a digital wake-up signal that can be utilized by other on-chip circuitry.
Description
- This invention relates to a wake-up circuit for a CAN receiver, and more specifically to a wake-up circuit for the physical layer of an electronic control unit (ECU) on a CAN.
- Modern vehicles have abandoned the utilization of separate wires between the various modules on the vehicle because of the sheer bulk of the number of conductors required and the cost associated therewith. The main motivation for using a CAN bus is noise immunity. It is used widely in automobiles, as well as industrial applications where the environment is harsh and levels of electrical interference are very high. These vehicles use a controller area network (CAN) in accordance with International Standard ISO 11898, entitled “Road vehicle—Interchange of digital information—Controller area network (CAN) for high-speed communication”, for example.
- A simplified view of a CAN network is shown in FIG. 1 generally as100. In this simplified diagram, other components, such as terminating resistors, are omitted for simplicity. The CAN bus comprises two wires one labeled CANH and the other CANL, as is well known to those skilled in the art. FIG. 1 illustrates three
modules devices lines Device 130 is shown as twoseparate modules physical layer 138 coupled to aprocessor 132. The physical layer is an analog layer which transmits signals along and receives signals from the CAN bus.Microprocessor 132 communicates with thephysical layer 138 via atransmit line 134 and areceive line 136. Thephysical layer 138 is connected to the bus vialines - In order to control the power consumption of the network,-the ECU enters a “sleep mode” in which very little quiescent power is drawn by the module. This can occur at any point in the operation of the vehicle in which that particular module is not needed. It can also occur when the vehicle ignition is turned OFF. Although only illustrated when respect to a single module in FIG. 1, many modules on the CAN may be placed in the “sleep” mode thus multiplying the quiescent current drain by the number of modules. This is especially important when the vehicle is turned OFF, because this current drain will come from the vehicle's battery.
- While in the sleep mode, the circuit needs to be able to detect the presence of a differential signal on the CAN bus and to wake the circuits out of the “sleep” mode so that the circuit can respond, if the message is addressed to it. Thus, while the circuit must draw as little current as possible in the “sleep” mode, it must still be able to detect signals on the CAN bus.
- Circuits on a CAN bus must be able to withstand voltages much higher than the signal voltage and have a high common mode signal rejection. Thus, there is a need for a wake-up circuit for a circuit on the CAN bus which can meet these requirements while still requiring a very low current drain in the “sleep” mode.
- It is the general object of the invention to provide a wake-up detector for a ECU on a CAN. This and other objects and features are provided by a wake-up detector for an electronic control unit (ECU) on an controller area network (CAN). A first transistor of a first type conductivity has a gate electrode coupled to an input terminal for a CANH conductor of a CAN bus. A second transistor of a second type conductivity has a gate electrode coupled to an input terminal for a CANL conductor of a CAN bus. A first current mirror circuit is coupled to a source-drain path of the first transistor and has an output coupled to a first constant current source. A second current mirror circuit is coupled to a source-drain path of the second transistor and has an output coupled to a second constant current source. A first detector circuit is coupled to a first junction of the first current mirror circuit and the first constant current source. A second detector circuit is coupled to a second junction of the second current mirror circuit and the second constant current source. An OR gate is coupled to an output of the first and second detectors and generates a wake up signal.
- Another aspect of the invention comprises a wake-up detector for a physical layer of the ECU on a controller area network (CAN) having a plurality of electronic control units (ECU) coupled to a bus. A NMOS transistor has a gate electrode coupled to an input terminal for a CANH conductor of a CAN bus.

A second Schmitt trigger circuit is coupled to a second junction of the second current mirror circuit and the second constant current source. An OR gate is coupled to an output of the first and second Schmitt trigger circuits and generates a wake-up signal.
- A further aspect of the invention includes a method for detecting a signal on a controller area network (CAN) bus for waking-up electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the bus. A CANH conductor of the CAN bus is coupled to a first transistor of the CAN bus to a first transistor of the first type. A CANL conductor of the CAN bus to a second transistor of a second type. An output of the first transistor is coupled to a first current mirror circuit and an output of the second transistor to a second current mirror circuit, the current mirror circuits mirroring current in source-drain paths of the of the respective transistors. An output of the first current mirror circuit is compared to a first constant current source. An output of the second current mirror circuit is compared to a second constant current source. A wake-up signal is generated if either comparing step equals of exceeds a predetermined level.

voltage rail 251, which may not be at the same potential asvoltage rail 226. A constantcurrent source 254 is coupled betweenvoltage rail 251 and the junction A.

The output of ORgate 278 is the wake-up signal atterminal 282. - The voltage supply supplied to rail226 is determined by the voltage needed to provide the necessary swings in the analog components coupled thereto. The voltage supplied to
voltage rail 251 is determined by the voltage of the microprocessor to which the reference signal atterminal 282 will be coupled. The voltage rail may be at 5.0 volts, for example whereas the microprocessor may be operating at 3.3 volts, for example. Thusvoltage rail 251 would be at 3.3 volts andrail 226 at 5.0 volts. In this case, thecomparators rail - In operation, one of the two
complementary switching transistors resistor 218 and thus throughtransistor 220 will be mirrored intransistor 228 at junction B.

transistor 234 will pass through diode-connectedtransistor 240 intoresistor 244 and to ground. This current will be mirrored bytransistor 248 which will draw current from junction A.

Therefore, no current will flow throughmirror transistor 248 and junction A will be pulled high by constantcurrent source 254. This will the trigger thecomparator 258, causing the inverted output to be low, and thus not provide a “1” to theOR gate 278. - However, operation over a wide common mode voltage range is required on a CAN bus.

voltage rail 226, at 10 volts, for example, and CANH switches to 11 volts, both switchingtransistors current mirror Schmitt trigger 258. - If the common mode voltage is negative, the reverse is true. If the common mode voltage is −10 volts and CANH switches to −9 volts, the

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the current generated by this constant current source is one microampere, for example. This current also flows throughtransistors Transistor 389 is in a current mirror configuration withtransistor 357. Thus, the current flowing intransistor 389, which is the same as the current flowing intransistor 380, also flows intransistor 357. Those skilled in the art know that it is possible to change the proportion of the current flowing intransistor 357 from a 1 to 1 correspondence with the current flowing intransistor 389 by varying the width and length of the transistors.
