FIGURE 27-7: SHORTENING A BIT PERIOD (SUBTRACTING SJW FROM PHASE SEGMENT 2)
27.11 Programming Time Segments
Some requirements for programming of the time
segments:
• Prop_Seg + Phase_Seg 1
 Phase_Seg 2
• Phase_Seg 2
 Sync Jump Width.
For example, assume that a 125 kHz CAN baud rate is
desired, using 20 MHz for F
OSC. With a TOSC of 50 ns,
a baud rate prescaler value of 04h gives a T
Q of 500 ns.
To obtain a Nominal Bit Rate of 125 kHz, the Nominal
Bit Time must be 8
s or 16 TQ.
Using 1 T
Q for the Sync_Seg, 2 TQ for the Prop_Seg
and 7 T
Q for Phase Segment 1 would place the sample
point at 10 T
Q after the transition. This leaves 6 TQ for
Phase Segment 2.
By the rules above, the Sync Jump Width could be the
maximum of 4 T
Q. However, normally a large SJW is
only necessary when the clock generation of the
different nodes is inaccurate or unstable, such as using
ceramic resonators. Typically, an SJW of 1 is enough.
27.12 Oscillator Tolerance
As a rule of thumb, the bit timing requirements allow
ceramic resonators to be used in applications with
transmission rates of up to 125 Kbit/sec. For the full bus
speed range of the CAN protocol, a quartz oscillator is
required. Refer to ISO11898-1 for oscillator tolerance
requirements.
