Abstract: A driver includes an open drain output transistor, a capacitor, a first current source, and first and second transistors. Upon assertion of a transmit signal to turn on the first transistor, a controller asserts a second control signal to turn on the second transistor responsive to a voltage of the capacitor being less than a threshold voltage of the open drain output transistor to thereby increase the control terminal voltage for the open drain output transistor at a first time rate. The controller deasserts the second control signal to turn off the second transistor responsive to the capacitor voltage exceeding the threshold voltage. Responsive to the capacitor's voltage exceeding the threshold, the first current source charges the capacitor to further increase the control terminal voltage at a second time rate that is smaller than the first time rate.

The second network node includes a transmitter driving a differential voltage onto bus lines to communicate a dominant bus state at a second dominant state common mode voltage, a receiver coupled to the bus lines, sense circuitry to sense a common mode voltage at the bus lines, and control circuitry to control a recessive state common mode voltage in response to the sensed dominant state common mode voltage.

Upon assertion of a transmit signal to turn on the first transistor, a controller asserts a second control signal to turn on the second transistor responsive to a voltage of the capacitor being less than a threshold voltage of the open drain output transistor to thereby increase the gate voltage for the open drain output transistor at a first time rate. The controller deasserts the second control signal to turn off the second transistor responsive to the capacitor voltage exceeding the threshold voltage. Responsive to the capacitor's voltage exceeding the threshold, the first current source charges the capacitor to further increase the gate voltage at a second time rate that is smaller than the first time rate.

Abstract: Differential signaling transmitter circuitry includes upper and lower driver stacks, each with at least one upper blocking transistor and a bias transistor, further includes first and second control loops. A first control loop includes a replica stack including replicas of the bias transistor and blocking transistors of a first one of the driver stacks, and a second control loop includes replica stacks, one with replicas of the bias and blocking transistors of the upper driver stack and one with replicas of the bias and blocking transistors of the lower driver stack. One of the replica stacks in the second control loop receives an output from the first control loop. First and second switching circuitry couples outputs of the first and second control loops to gates of bias transistor in the upper and lower driver stacks, respectively, responsive to a data signal.

Abstract: Two CAN bus transceivers utilized in a single integrated circuit package with the CAN bus connections between the two transceivers being inverted. Thus, one transceiver is connected to the CAN bus high and low lines while the other transceiver is connected to the CAN bus low and high lines. Both transceivers power up in a standby condition and each transceiver is monitoring for wake up signals on the CAN bus. The transceiver that is correctly connected to the CAN bus detects wake up signals. When the wake up signals are detected at that transceiver, that transceiver is brought to full operating state and the other transceiver is placed in a full standby condition. Additional input resistance is provided with each transceiver to maintain the proper input resistance for the integrated circuit.

Abstract: A positive overshoot detection circuit comprises a transistor coupled to a current mirror, a reference current source coupled to the current mirror, and a comparator coupled to the reference current source and the current mirror. The comparator output indicates whether the current mirror's current is greater than the reference current source's current. A control input and a current terminal of the transistor are coupled to a clamping circuit. A negative overshoot detection circuit comprises a biasing sub-circuit coupled to a transistor, a resistor coupled to the transistor, and a comparator coupled to the transistor and the resistor. The comparator output indicates whether the transistor is in an on or off state. The biasing sub-circuit is coupled to a clamping circuit. In some implementations, the comparator outputs from the positive and negative overshoot detection circuits are provided to a driver circuit, which modifies its operation.
