2.24 SENT TX Driver

Overview

Single-Edge Nibble Transmission(SENT) is a unidirectional, single-wire communications protocol that is based on SAE J2716. The protocol is designed for point-to-point transmission of signal values, using a signal system based on successive falling edges.

Features

Driver supports two main modes of operation
- Asynchronous transmitter (default)
- Synchronous transmitter
Hardware calculation of CRC .
Pause Pulse period.
Requested Nominal Tick Time range varies based on the clock source frequency of the selected PLIB .

Enumerations

enum SENT_TRANSMIT_MODE { SENT_TRANSMIT_ASYNCHRONOUS, SENT_TRANSMIT_SYNCHRONOUS }

Defines the SENT transmission mode (Asynchronous and Synchronous)
enum SENT_TRANSMIT_STATUS { SENT_TRANSMIT_SYNCTXEN = (1U << 0U), SENT_TRANSMIT_NIBBLE1 = (1U << 4U), SENT_TRANSMIT_NIBBLE2 = (1U << 5U), SENT_TRANSMIT_NIBBLE3 = (3U << 4U), SENT_TRANSMIT_NIBBLE4 = (1U << 6U), SENT_TRANSMIT_NIBBLE5 = (5U << 4U), SENT_TRANSMIT_NIBBLE6 = (6U << 4U), SENT_TRANSMIT_CRC = (7U << 4U), SENT_TRANSMIT_PAUSEPERIOD = (1U << 7U) }
