Alternatively, should the counter eventually reach the value 0, the digital
filter decides that the condition of the BDRxD signal is at a stable logic
level 0 and the data latch is reset, causing the filtered Rx data signal to
become a logic level 0. Furthermore, the counter is prevented from
underflowing and can only be incremented from this state.
The data latch will retain its value until the counter next reaches the
opposite end point, signifying a definite transition of the signal.
20.5.1.2 Performance
The performance of the digital filter is best described in the time domain
rather than the frequency domain.
If the signal on the BDRxD signal transitions, then there will be a delay
before that transition appears at the filtered Rx data output signal. This
delay will be between 15 and 16 clock periods, depending on where the
transition occurs with respect to the sampling points. This filter delay
must be taken into account when performing message arbitration.
For example, if the frequency of the MUX interface clock (f_BDLC) is
1.0486 MHz, then the period (t_BDLC) is 954 ns and the maximum filter
delay in the absence of noise will be 15.259 µs.
The effect of random noise on the BDRxD signal depends on the
characteristics of the noise itself. Narrow noise pulses on the BDRxD
signal will be ignored completely if they are shorter than the filter delay.
This provides a degree of low pass filtering.
If noise occurs during a symbol transition, the detection of that transition
can be delayed by an amount equal to the length of the noise burst. This
is just a reflection of the uncertainty of where the transition is truly
occurring within the noise.
Noise pulses that are wider than the filter delay, but narrower than the
shortest allowable symbol length, will be detected by the next stage of
the BDLC’s receiver as an invalid symbol.
Noise pulses that are longer than the shortest allowable symbol length
will be detected normally as an invalid symbol or as invalid data when
the frame’s CRC is checked.
