Hi,
When the bit rate switching is enabled it is recommended to use the same time quantum for both the nominal (arbitration) and data phase. Since short data time quanta are needed to enable a short data bit time, and the same time quantum should be used in the nominal bit time, the number of time quanta in a nominal bit time needs to be increased in a CAN FD network compared to a classical CAN network.
Thus ISO 11898-1 now allows more than 8 tq for each of the bit time segments Prop_Seg, Phase_Seg1 and Phase_Seg2.
The maximum can vary depending on vendors implementation.
The MPC5777M’s MCAN increases the configuration range to 16 tq for Phase_Seg2 and to 64 tq for the sum of Prop_Seg and Phase_Seg1. So the nominal bit time can be programmed in the range of [4....81] time quanta.
