Atmel ATA6670 [DATASHEET]
9204F–AUTO–06/12
If the Atmel ATA6670 is in Sleep mode and the voltage level at the LIN is in dominant state (VLIN <VBUSdom) for a period of time
exceeding tmon (during a short circuit at LIN, for example), the IC switches back to Sleep mode. The VS current consumption
then consists of IVSsleep plus ILINWAKE. After a positive edge at pin LIN the IC switches directly to Fail-safe mode (see Figure 2-4). Figure 2-4. Short-circuit to GND on the LIN Bus During Sleep Mode

Local WAKE-up via Pin WAKE2 (Only Available at Transceiver 2)
A falling edge at pin WAKE2 followed by a low level maintained for a certain period of time (> tWAKE) results in a local wake-up
request. According to ISO 7637, the wake-up time ensures that no transients create a wake-up. The transceiver 2 then switches
to Fail-safe mode. Pin INH2 is activated (switches to VS2) and the internal slave termination resistor is switched on. The local
wake-up request is indicated by a low level at pin RXD for interrupting the microcontroller and by a strong pull-down at pin TXD
The voltage threshold for a wake-up signal is 3V below the VS2 voltage with an output current of typically –3A. Even in the
case of a continuos low at pin WAKE2 it is possible to switch the transceiver 2 into Sleep mode via a low level at pin EN2. The
transceiver 2 will remain in Sleep mode for an unlimited time. To generate a new wake-up at pin WAKE2, a high signal for > 6s
is required. A negative edge then restarts the wake-up filtering time.
