Modes of Operation
For an overview of all operational modes, please refer
to Table 1-2.
1.3.1
POWER-DOWN MODE
In the Power-Down mode, the transmitter and the volt-
age regulator are both off. Only the receiver section
and the CS/WAKE pin wake-up circuits are in
operation. This is the lowest power mode.
If any bus activity (e.g., a BREAK character) should
occur during Power-Down mode, the device will imme-
diately enable the voltage regulator. Once the output
has stabilized, enter the Ready mode.
The part will enter the operation mode if the CS/WAKE
pin should become active-high (‘1’).
1.3.2
READY MODE AND READY1 MODE
There are two states for the Ready mode.The only dif-
ference between these states is the transition during
start-up of the regulator, depending on the signal CS/
WAKE. The state Ready1 mode ensures that the tran-
sition from the Ready-to-Operation mode (once an
active edge of CS/WAKE) occurs.
Upon entering the Ready mode, the voltage regulator
is powered up. If a microcontroller is being driven by
the voltage regulator output, it will go through a power-
on reset and initialization sequence. All other circuits,
other than the transmitter, are fully operational. The LIN
pin is held in the recessive state.
The device will stay in the Ready mode until the
CS/WAKE pin goes high (‘1’). After CS/WAKE is active,
the transmitter is enabled and the part enters the
Operation mode.
The part may only enter the Power-Down mode after
going through an Operation mode step.
On power-on of the V
BAT
supply pin, the component is
in either in Ready or Ready1 mode, waiting for a
CS/WAKE rising edge.
1.3.3
OPERATION MODE
In this mode, all internal modules are operational.
The MCP201 will go into the Power-down mode on the
falling edge of CS/WAKE.
