Figure 24-31. Slave Node Synchronization
The synchronization accuracy depends on:
• The theoretical slave node clock frequency; nominal clock frequency (F
Nom
)
• The baud rate
• The oversampling mode (OVER=0 => 16x, or OVER=1 => 8x)
The following formula is used to calculate synchronization deviation, where F
SLAVE
is the real
slave node clock frequency, and F
TOL_UNSYNC
is the difference between F
Nom
and F
SLAVE
. Accord-
ing to the LIN specification, F
TOL_UNSYNCH
may not exceed ±15%, and the bit rates between two
nodes must be within ±2% of each other, resulting in a maximal BaudRate_deviation of ±1%. If
F
F
TOL_UNSYNCH
exceeds ±15%, LINBRR will not be updated with new values, and the LIN Sync
Tolerance Error bit (CSR.LINSTE) is set.
Minimum nominal clock frequency with a fractional part:
Examples:
• Baud rate = 20 kbit/s, OVER=0 (Oversampling 16x) => F
Nom
(min) = 2.64MHz
• Baud rate = 20 kbit/s, OVER=1 (Oversampling 8x) => F
Nom
(min) = 1.47MHz
• Baud rate = 1 kbit/s, OVER=0 (Oversampling 16x) => F
Nom
(min) = 132 kHz
• Baud rate = 1 kbit/s, OVER=1 (Oversampling 8x) => F
Nom
(min) = 74 kHz
If the fractional part is not used, the synchronization accuracy is much lower. The 16 most signif-
icant bits, added with the first least significant bit, becomes the new clock divider (LINCD). The
equation of the baud rate deviation is the same as above, but the constants are:
