Figure 25 Example of setting the undervoltage flag
Besides the undervoltage detection timer, each supply is also equipped with an undervoltage recovery timer. The
undervoltage recovery timer starts when the external power supply recovers. When the undervoltage recovery
timer expires, the undervoltage flag gets reset (see Figure 25). If the external power supply recovers only
temporarily and the supply line falls back to the undervoltage situation while the undervoltage recovery timer is still
running, the undervoltage flag remains set. Clearing the undervoltage flag allows the transceiver TLE9221SX to
return from low power mode to the previous operational mode selected by the host command (see Chapter 9.4
and Table 15).
Note: Undervoltage bits are set by an undervoltage event. Undervoltage bits are stored in the SIR and also
indicated at the ERRN output.
Undervoltage flags are set by the undervoltage detection timer. Undervoltage flags are not visible in the SIR
and they are not indicated at the ERRN output. Undervoltage flags are only used to change the mode of
operation after the undervoltage detection timer has expired!
8.3.2
Undervoltage Event at uVBAT
The FlexRay transceiver TLE9221SX considers a voltage fluctuation on the power supply uVBAT, which falls below
the detection threshold uBDUVVBAT and exceeds the blanking time dBDUVBAT_BLK, as an undervoltage event.
Voltage fluctuations on uVBAT shorter than dBDUVBAT_BLK are ignored and not recognized by the Power Supply
Interface. To indicate the undervoltage event on the supply voltage uVBAT, the uVBAT undervoltage bit (bit 8) and
the error bit (bit 11) are set (see Figure 26). After the uVBAT undervoltage detection timer dBDUVVBAT expires, the
uVBAT undervoltage flag is set and the mode of operation changes to BD_Sleep mode.
The Host Interface and the Communication Controller Interface are active while the dBDUVVBAT undervoltage
detection timer is running and the reference supply uVIO is present. When the dBDUVVBAT undervoltage detection
timer expires and the uVBAT undervoltage flag is set, the Host Interface and the Communication Controller
