Abstract: An apparatus for a CAN transceiver configured to couple to a CAN bus and generate receive-data based on signals therefrom and generate signals on the CAN bus in response to transmit-data received from a CAN controller, wherein the apparatus is configured to: receive the receive-data comprising a plurality of bits; and for each of one or more bits of the receive-data, sample at a respective sample time to determine a respective value of each of the one or more bits; and with an edge detector determine, during a respective edge detector window, the occurrence of an edge in the receive-data and generate metadata indicative thereof, wherein the edge detector window comprises a period of time that includes the sample time; and wherein the apparatus is configured to determine whether transmit-data is compliant with one or more rules based on the respective values and the metadata.

Abstract: A voltage converter connectable to a power source (PS) and a load (LD) provides a regulated output voltage (Vout) from a voltage (Vin) power source by switchable current paths including an inductive element (L). The voltage converter includes a plurality of switching elements for switching the current paths of the voltage converter as a forward-phase current path when the input voltage corresponds to the output voltage, as an up-phase current path when the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, and as a down-phase current path when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage. A central controller controls a switching state of the plurality of switching elements, a current sensing unit including a comparator for sensing a current flowing through at least one of the switching elements, and a plurality of processing units for processing the current sensing.
