Abstract

An emission reduction device for a CAN bus system. The device includes an evaluation block for evaluating signals that are transferred differentially on two bus lines, the evaluation block being designed to form the sum voltage of the differentially transferred signals, and a comparison block for comparing the sum voltage in such a way that the difference between the sum voltage for a dominant bus state and the sum voltage for a recessive bus state has a predetermined minimum value, the recessive bus state being overwritable by a dominant bus state. For the comparison, the comparison block is designed to modify at least one property of the transceiver device via a setting in a block of the transceiver device until the difference between the sum voltage for a dominant bus state and the sum voltage for a recessive bus state has the predetermined minimum value.

Claims (20)

1. An emission reduction device for reducing emissions of a transceiver device for a serial bus system, comprising:

an evaluation block configured to evaluate signals that are transferred differentially on two bus lines of the bus system, the evaluation block being configured to form a sum voltage of the differentially transferred signals; and

a comparison block configured to compare the sum voltage, formed by the evaluation block, in such a way that a difference between the sum voltage for a dominant bus state and a sum voltage for a recessive bus state has a predetermined minimum value, the recessive bus state being overwritable by a dominant bus state; for the comparison, the comparison block configured to modify at least one property of the transceiver device via a setting in a block of the transceiver device until the difference between the sum voltage for the dominant bus state and the sum voltage for the recessive bus state has the predetermined minimum value.

2. The emission reduction device as recited in claim 1 , wherein for the comparison, the comparison block is configured to change, as a property of the transceiver device, a switching delay between the differentially transferred signals for a switching edge from a dominant state to a recessive state of the differentially transferred signals.

3. The emission reduction device as recited in claim 1 , wherein for the comparison, the comparison block is configured to change, as a property of the transceiver device, a switching delay of the transceiver device between the differentially transferred signals for a switching edge from a recessive state to a dominant state of the differentially transferred signals.

4. The emission reduction device as recited in claim 1 , wherein for the comparison, the comparison block is configured to change, as a property of the transceiver device, a steepness of a switching edge of the transceiver device from a dominant state to a recessive state of the differentially transferred signals.

5. The emission reduction device as recited in claim 1 , wherein for the comparison, the comparison block is configured to change, as a property of the transceiver device, a steepness of a switching edge from a recessive state to a dominant state of the differentially transferred signals.

6. The emission reduction device as recited in claim 1 , wherein for the comparison, the comparison block is configured to change, as a property of the transceiver device, a transmission current of signals for a dominant state of the differentially transferred signals.

7. The emission reduction device as recited in claim 1 , wherein exclusive, collision-free access to the bus of the bus system by a user station is at least temporarily ensured in the bus system.

8. A decoupling network for a bus system, comprising:

an emission reduction device for reducing emissions of a transceiver device for a serial bus system, including:

an evaluation block configured to evaluate signals that are transferred differentially on two bus lines of the bus system, the evaluation block being configured to form a sum voltage of the differentially transferred signals, and

a comparison block configured to compare the sum voltage, formed by the evaluation block, in such a way that a difference between the sum voltage for a dominant bus state and a sum voltage for a recessive bus state has a predetermined minimum value, the recessive bus state being overwritable by a dominant bus state;

for the comparison, the comparison block configured to modify at least one property of the transceiver device via a setting in a block of the transceiver device until the difference between the sum voltage for the dominant bus state and the sum voltage for the recessive bus state has the predetermined minimum value;

a measuring shunt; and

a measuring receiver configured to display line-conducted emissions in a spectral range, wherein one end of the measuring shunt is connected to the two bus lines of the bus system and to the measuring receiver.

9. The decoupling network as recited in claim 8 , wherein the measuring shunt has a resistance value in a range from and including 50 ohms to infinity.

10. A method for reducing emissions of a transceiver device for a serial bus system, the method being carried out using an emission reduction device and a transceiver device for a bus system, the method comprising the following steps:

evaluating, using an evaluation block, signals that are transferred differentially on two bus lines of the bus system, the evaluation block forming a sum voltage of the differentially transferred signals; and

comparing, using a comparison block, the sum voltage formed by the evaluation block in such a way that a difference between a sum voltage for a dominant bus state and a sum voltage for a recessive bus state has a predetermined minimum value, the recessive bus state being overwritable by the dominant bus state, for the comparison, the comparison block modifying at least one property of the transceiver device via a setting in a block of the transceiver device until the difference between the sum voltage for the dominant bus state and the sum voltage for the recessive bus state has the predetermined minimum value.
