Idle
An idle is defined as a passive period greater than 300 μs in length.
27.4.4 J1850 VPW Valid/Invalid Bits and Symbols
The timing tolerances for receiving data bits and symbols from the J1850 bus have been defined to allow
for variations in oscillator frequencies. In many cases the maximum time allowed to define a data bit or
symbol is equal to the minimum time allowed to define another data bit or symbol.
Since the minimum resolution of the BDLC for determining what symbol is being received is equal to a
single period of the MUX interface clock (t
BDLC
), an apparent separation in these maximum time/minimum
time concurrences equal to one cycle of t
BDLC
occurs.
This one clock resolution allows the BDLC to differentiate properly between the different bits and symbols.
This is done without reducing the valid window for receiving bits and symbols from transmitters onto the
J1850 bus which have varying oscillator frequencies.
In Huntsinger’s’ variable pulse width (VPW) modulation bit encoding, the tolerances for both the passive
and active data bits received and the symbols received are defined with no gaps between definitions. For
example, the maximum length of a passive logic 0 is equal to the minimum length of a passive logic 1,
and the maximum length of an active logic 0 is equal to the minimum length of a valid SOF symbol.
Invalid Passive Bit
See Figure 27-7 (1). If the passive-to-active received transition beginning the next data bit or symbol
occurs between the active-to-passive transition beginning the current data bit (or symbol) and a, the
current bit would be invalid.
