Fail-safe Mode

At system power-up the device automatically switches to Fail-safe mode. The voltage regulator
is switched on (V

CC

= 3.3V/5V/50 mA), (see

Figure 6-1 on page 11

). The NRES output switches

to low for t

res

= 4 ms and gives a reset to the microcontroller. LIN communication is switched off.

The IC stays in this mode until EN is switched to high, and changes then to the Normal mode. A
power down of V

Batt

(V

S

< 4V) during Silent- or Sleep mode switches the IC into the Fail-safe

mode after power up. A logic low at NRES switches the IC into Fail-safe mode directly.

4.5

Unpowered Mode

If you connect battery voltage to the application circuit, the voltage at the VS pin increases
according to the block capacitor (see

Figure 6-1 on page 11

). After VS is higher than the VS

undervoltage threshold VS

th

, the IC mode changes from Unpowered mode to Fail-safe mode.

The VCC output voltage reaches its nominal value after t

VCC

. This time, t

VCC

, depends on the

VCC capacitor and the load.

NRES is low for the reset time delay t

Reset

; no mode change is possible during this time.
