1 General Description
This document is subject to change without notice.
The AS8221 is a high speed automotive bus driver fully conforming
to the FlexRay Electrical Physical Layer Specification V2.1 Rev B.
The AS8221 operates as a bi-directional interface between the
FlexRay Communication Controller and the twisted-pair copper
wiring.
The AS8221 provides an optimized host controller interface
consisting of three low-active pins. The Enable (EN) and Standby
(STBN) input pins for mode handling by the microcontroller and the
Error (ERRN) out pin where system, chip failures or status
information are signalled to the microcontroller. Signalling logic high
on the Enable and Standby pin the device will enter NORMAL mode
in case no fault condition is given and in this mode the device is fully
operational meaning FlexRay communication is possible.
Additionally, a RECEIVE-ONLY mode is implemented, which can be
accessed by the microcontroller where only FlexRay streams can be
received in order to avoid unwanted disturbances on the FlexRay
bus while listening to the bus traffic. In the low-power modes
(STANDBY and SLEEP mode) very low power consumption is
achieved.
In case of undervoltage at one of the supply voltages (VBAT, VCC,
and VIO) the device will change its mode to a low-power mode
(either STANDBY or SLEEP mode) and the device will signal an
error accordingly. In case of low voltage is detected on both VBAT
and VCC the device will enter the POWER-OFF mode, where no
operation is possible. A safe mechanism from the low-power modes
to POWER-OFF mode and vice versa is implemented ensuring that
no deadlock can happen during the startup phase.
Ensuring application in safety critical environments a two wire busguardian interface is implemented where additional monitoring
circuitries on the electronic-control-unit can activate and deactivate
the transmitter and additionally on the receive enable output (RxEN)
in low-power modes the wake conditions and in normal power
modes the received FlexRay streams can be monitored.

3 Applications
The AS8221 FlexRay Standard Transceiver is best fitting for
automotive FlexRay nodes where bus wake-up and voltage regulator
control for voltage supplies is needed.
The device addresses all ECUs connected to the permanent battery
supply (clamp 30). The AS8221 can be used as only ECU wake-up
component with very low power consumption in SLEEP mode.
A thermal sensor circuit with an integral shutdown mechanism
prevents damage to the device in extreme temperature conditions.
The symmetrical transient control for the high- and low-side driver for
both the bus-minus (BM) and bus-plus (BP) line allows an ideal
balance of communications over different network topologies, with
excellent EMC performance.

8 Detailed Description
The AS8221 is a FlexRay Transceiver operating as an interface between the Communication Controller and the wired bus lines. The AS8221 is
designed to extend the application range for high speed and safety critical time triggered bus systems in an automotive environment. The drivers
are short circuit protected against the positive and negative supply voltage to increase the robustness and reliability of automotive systems. 
The AS8221 operates at baudrates up to 10 Mbps.
8.1 Block Description
The AS8221 consists of 9 functional blocks (see Figure 1):
Table 4. Functional Blocks
Functional Block
Short Description
Host Controller Interface (HCI)
Digital interface between the Transceiver and the host controller (HC)
The host interface comprises the read-out handler, which delivers failure and status
information via the ERRN pin to the host controller.
Communication Controller Interface (CCI)
Digital interface between the Transceiver and the FlexRay communication controller
(CC)
Bus Guarding Interface (BGI)
Digital interface between the Transceiver and the FlexRay bus guardian (BG) or
monitoring circuitry.
Power Supply Interface
(PSI)
The power supply interface consists of the voltage monitor (VM) with two analog
inhibit outputs switching external voltage supplies.
Internal Logic (IL)
The digital signals from the functional blocks of the device are fed into the internal
logic where the forwarding of FlexRay messages from analog side to digital interfaces
and vice versa is done. The state machine is embedded in the Internal Logic and the
handling of error, wake, and power-on flags is executed herein.
Bus Failure Detector (BFD)
Temperature Protection (TP)
The bus failure detector is directly connected to the bus pins, in order to detect several
external failure conditions which may occur on the bus.
The temperature protection turns off the output driver when reaching the specified
internal temperature in order to protect the device.
Transmitter
The transmitter provides the differential signalling according the FlexRay standard on
the bus pins.
Receiver
Wake-Up Detector (WUD)
The Receiver captures FlexRay valid signals at the bus pins and provides the
received data streams to the Internal Logic.
The wake-up detector recognizes valid wake-up frames on the bus, recognizes a
wake signal on the local WAKE pin and signals valid wake-up events to the Internal
Logic.
8.2 Events
Transitions in order to change between the operation modes are possible only if events are detected. The device supports three type of events,
events on the host controller interface (STBN, EN), detection of undervoltage or supply voltage recovery and wake events. Mode changes are
only performed upon detected events.
8.3 Operating Modes
The AS8221 provides the following operating modes:
NORMAL: non-low-power mode
RECEIVE-ONLY: non-low-power mode
STANDBY: low-power mode
GO-TO-SLEEP: low-power mode
SLEEP: low-power mode

Datasheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n
8.3.1
NORMAL Mode
In this mode the Transceiver is able to send and receive data signals on the bus. TxEN and BGE enables and disables the transmission of data
streams. INH1 and INH2 outputs are set high. RxD reflects bus data and bus state. The error-read-out-mechanism is enabled. In NORMAL
mode, the transmitter state can be selected as shown in the Table 5. In case the over-temperature flag is set the Transmitter will be disabled. The
bus wires are terminated to VCC/2 via Receiver input resistances.

If the differential bus voltage is higher than VBUSActiveHigh or lower than VBUSActiveLow for a time longer than tBUSActivityDetection, then activity
is detected on the bus (Bus = active), RxEN is switched to logical “low” and RxD is released.
If, after the activity detection, the differential bus voltage is higher than VData1, RxD is high.
If, after the activity detection, the differential bus voltage is lover than VData0, RxD is low.
If the absolute differential bus voltage is lower than VBUSActiveHigh and higher than VBUSActiveLow for a time longer than tBUSIdleDetection, then
idle is detected on the bus (Bus = idle), RxEN and RxD are switched to logical “high”
8.3.2
RECEIVE-ONLY Mode
In RECEIVE-ONLY mode the Transmitter is disabled but the Receiver is active.
8.3.3
STANDBY Mode
In this mode the Transceiver is not able to send and receive data signals from the bus, but the wake-up detector is active. The power
consumption is significantly reduced with respect to the non-low-power operation modes. RxD and RxEN, reflects the negation of the wake-up
flag. INH1 is set to high. If wake-up flag is set then INH2 is high, otherwise it is floating. The error-read-out-mechanism is not enabled. The bus
wires are terminated to GND (bus state: Idle_LP).
8.3.4
GO-TO-SLEEP Mode
In this mode the Transceiver has the same behavior as in STANDBY mode but if this mode is selected for a time longer than tSLEEP and the wake
flag is cleared the device enters into the SLEEP mode.
8.3.5
SLEEP Mode
In SLEEP mode only the bus wake and local wake detection is enabled. IN1 and INH2 are floating.
8.4 Non Operating Mode
The AS8221 provides the following non operating mode:
8.4.1
POWER-OFF
In this mode the Transceiver is not able to operate. RxD, RxEN are set to high and ERRN is set to low. INH1 and INH2 are floating. The bus
wires are not connected to GND (bus state: Idle_HZ).

8.5 Undervoltage Events
The device monitors the following three voltage supplies:
VBAT: Battery supply voltage
VIO: Supply voltage for I/O digital level adaptation
VCC: Supply voltage (+5V)
8.5.1
Undervoltage/Voltage Recovery VBAT
If VBAT voltage falls below VBATTHL for a time longer than tUV_DETECT then the undervoltage VBAT flag is set and it is reset if VBAT exceeds the
voltage threshold VBATTHH for a time longer than tUV_REC or in case a wake-up event has been detected. The flag can be set or reset in all the
modes.
8.5.2
Undervoltage/Voltage Recovery VIO
If VIO voltage falls below VIOTHL for a time longer than tUV_DETECT then the undervoltage VIO flag is set and it is reset if VIO exceeds the voltage
threshold VIOTHH for a time longer than tUV_REC or in case a wake-up event has been detected. The flag can be set or reset in all the operation
modes. The flag is automatically reset at POWER-OFF.
8.5.3
Undervoltage/Voltage Recovery VCC
If VCC voltage falls below VCCTHL for a time longer than tUV_DETECT then the undervoltage VCC flag is set and it is reset if VCC exceeds the
voltage threshold VCCTHH for a time longer than tUV_REC or in case a wake-up event has been detected. The flag can be set or reset in all
operation modes. The flag is automatically reset at POWER-OFF.
8.6 Power On/Off Events
Starting from POWER-OFF
mode a power on event occurs in case VBAT undervoltage flag is reset.
Starting from every operation mode a POWER-OFF event occurs in case VBAT and VCC
undervoltage flags are set.
8.7 Wake-Up Events
A wake-up event can be detected only in low-power modes. The wake-up flag is set if the remote or local wake flag is set. The wake-up flag is
reset if both the remote and local wake-up flags are reset. The remote wake-up flag is set if a remote wake-up event occurs. The local wake-up
flag is set if a local wake-up event occurs. The remote and local wake-up flags are reset entering a low-power mode from a non-low-power mode,
entering NORMAL mode, whenever an undervoltage event occurs and at POWER-OFF.
8.7.1
Remote Wake-Up Event
A remote wake-up event, only possible in low-power mode, consists in the reception of at least two consecutive wake-up symbols via the bus
within tBWU_Detect. The wake-up symbol is defined as Data0 longer than tBWU_D0 followed by idle or Data1 longer than tBWU_Idle as in Figure 7
unless an undervoltage or wake-up event is present.

8.7.2
Local Wake-Up Event
In all low-power modes, if the voltage on the WAKE pin falls below VLWUTH for longer than tLWFilter, a local wake-up event is detected. At the
same time the biasing of the pin is switched to pull-down. If the voltage on the WAKE pin rises above VLWUTH for longer than tLWFilter, a local
wake-up event is detected. At the same time the biasing of the pin is switched to pull-up. The pull up and down mechanism is active in low-power
and non-low-power modes.

9.1 Fail Silent Behavior
9.1.1
RxEN / BGE timeout
In case no edges on RxEN and BGE within tTxEN_timeout are detected, the transmitter will stop transmitting the signals on RxD to the bus pins.
9.1.2
State Transitions due to Undervoltage Detection
In case of VBAT or VIO undervoltage is detected,
SLEEP mode will be entered regardless the status of EN and STBN.
In case VCC undervoltage is detected, STANDBY mode will be entered regardless the status of EN and STBN.
VBAT
and VIO undervoltage detection have higher priority than VCC undervoltage detection.
In case undervoltage at VBAT
9.1.3
and VCC is detected, POWER-OFF mode is entered (bus state: Idle_HZ).
State Transitions due to Voltage Recovery Detection
If the voltage recovers the device will enter the mode selected by the EN and STBN pins, in case no undervoltage is present at
the other
supply pins.
Starting from the POWER-OFF, the device enters the state selected by the host input pins (EN, STBN) only if VBAT or VCC recovers (VBAT
VBATTHH or VCC VCCTHH) while VIO is available (undervoltage flag of VIO flag not set). If the VIO undervoltage flag is set, the STANDBY
mode will be entered. In both cases the Power-On flag is set.
If VBAT  VBATTHL and VCC  VCCTHL
the device will be in POWER-OFF state, thus the bus wires are not terminated (bus state: Idle_HZ).
9.2 Mode Transitions
In case of power-off event, the device enters POWER-OFF regardless VIO undervoltage flag, wake-up flags and regardless the selection at the
host input pins.
Starting from the POWER-OFF the device enters STANDBY only in case a power on event occurs.
Starting from every operating mode the device enters SLEEP in case VBAT or VIO undervoltage flag is set regardless the VCC undervoltage flag,
the wake-up flag and the state of the host input pins.
Starting from every operating mode except SLEEP the device enters STANDBY in case VCC undervoltage flag is set and VBAT and VIO
undervoltage flags are not set, regardless the wake-up flag indication and the host input pins state.
Starting from a low-power mode the device enters the operation mode indicated by the host input pins if a wake-up event occurs.
In case all the undervoltage flags are reset the operation mode is selected by the wake-up flag and the host pins according to Table 6.

Notes:
1. If GO-TO-SLEEP is selected for more than tSLEEP then the device will enter SLEEP only if the wake-up flag is not set otherwise it will
remain in GO-TO-SLEEP.
2. If wake-up flag is set INH2=H otherwise INH2=floating.
3. Starting from SLEEP, if the wake-up flag is set, the device enters STANDBY regardless the host pins state and UV flags. Starting from
SLEEP, if the wake-up flag is not set, the only operating mode that can be entered through host pins are the non-low-power modes.

9.3 Loss of Ground
Whenever a loss of ground is detected, the bus lines are switched Idle_HZ with the precondition that the host pins are open. Either error or no
error can be indicated on the ERRN pin.
9.4 Error Flags
9.4.1
Undervoltage
UVVBAT_DET: The VBAT undervoltage flag is set if the VBAT voltage falls below VBATTHL for longer than tUV_DETECT
and is reset if the
VBAT voltage reaches a voltage level higher than VBATTHH for longer than tUV_DETECT.
UVVIO_DET:
The VIO undervoltage flag is set if the VCC voltage falls below VCCTHL for longer than tUV_DETECT and is reset if the VCC
voltage reaches a voltage level for longer than VCCTHH after tUV_DETECT.
UVVCC_DET: The VCC undervoltage flag is set if the VIO voltage falls below VIOTHL for longer than tUV_DETECT and is reset if the VIO volt-
age reaches a voltage level higher than VIOTHH for longer than tUV_DETECT.
9.4.2
Bus Error (BUSERR)
The bus error flag is set if 2 consecutive rising edges on the TxD pin without any rising edge on the RxD pin are detected or if 2 consecutive
falling edges on the TxD pin without any falling edge on the RxD pin are detected. This flag is reset if a rising edge on the TxD pin is followed by
a rising edge on RxD pin before the next TxD rising edge or if a falling edge on the TxD pin is followed by a falling edge on RxD pin before the
next TxD falling edge. This flag can be set or reset only in NORMAL mode when the transmitter is enabled. The flag is reset at POWER-OFF.
9.4.3
Short Circuit between BP and BM (BP_BM)
The BP_BM can only be set or reset in NORMAL mode while the driver is active (edge at TxEN) for a time longer than tBUS_ERROR.
The flag is set if the absolute value of the differential voltage is lower than VSHORT for a time tBUS_ERROR.
The flag is reset in POWER-OFF mode and if the set condition is not fulfilled.
9.4.4
Over Temperature (OT)
This flag can only be set or reset in the non-low-power modes. The flag is set if the junction temperature exceeds OTTH and it is reset if the
junction temperature falls below OTTL.
9.4.5
TxEN_BGE Timeout (TxEN_TO)
This flag can only be set in NORMAL mode if the driver is enabled (TxEN is low and BGE is high) for a time longer than tTxEN_max. It is reset
during transition on TxEN or BGE or if the device exits NORMAL mode. If the flag is set the driver is disabled.

Datasheet - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n
9.4.6
Error Flag (ERROR)
The ERROR is signalled on the ERRN pin according to Table 6 and Table 8.
The flag is set if at least one of the error flags in chapters 9.4.2 to 9.4.5 is set. The flag will be reset if none of the flags in chapters 9.4.2 to 9.4.5
is set.
9.5 Status Flags
9.5.1
Local Wake Flag (LWAKE)
See chapter 8.7 Wake-Up Events on page 16
9.5.2
Remote Wake Flag (RWAKE)
see chapter 8.7 Wake-Up Events on page 16
9.5.3
Power on Flag (PWON)
The PWON is set leaving the POWER-OFF state and it is reset entering a low-power mode after a non-low-power mode.
9.6 Error Flags and Status Flags Read-Out
The readout mechanism consists of two information groups:
1. Error read-out
2. Status information read-out
The read-out mechanism as serial transmission on Pin EN and ERRN:
Table 9. Read-out Mechanism and Transceiver States
State
Enabled / Disabled
NORMAL mode
Enabled
RECEIVE-ONLY mode
Enabled
STANDBY mode
Disabled
GO-TO-SLEEP mode
Disabled
SLEEP mode
Disabled
The error flags and the status flags can be read-out by applying a clock signal to pin EN in a non-low-power mode. A falling edge on pin EN starts
the read-out loading the content of the error/status flag into the shift register and signaling the error flag on the ERRN pin. On the second falling
edge the first flag (Bit 0) will be shifted out. The ERRN data is valid after tRO_EN_ERRN. If EN pin keeps on toggling after the last flag (Bit 15) the
next flag again is Bit 0. The complete list of bits is shown in Table 10. If no transition is detected on pin EN for longer than tRO_EN_TIMEOUT the
device enters the operation mode selected by the host pins.
