After the SLEEP bit has been cleared, Sleep mode is exited once beCAN has synchronized

with the CAN bus, refer to Figure 96. The sleep mode is exited once the SLAK bit has been

cleared by hardware.

Test mode

Test mode can be selected by the SILM and LBKM bits in the CDGR register. These bits

must be configured while beCAN is in Initialization mode. Once test mode has been

selected, beCAN is started in Normal mode.

Silent mode

The beCAN can be put in Silent mode by setting the SILM bit in the CDGR register.

In Silent mode, the beCAN is able to receive valid data frames and valid remote frames, but

it sends only recessive bits on the CAN bus and it cannot start a transmission. If the beCAN

has to send a dominant bit (ACK bit, overload flag, active error flag), the bit is rerouted

internally so that the CAN core monitors this dominant bit, although the CAN bus may

remain in recessive state. Silent mode can be used to analyze the traffic on a CAN bus

without affecting it by the transmission of dominant bits (acknowledge bits, error frames).

Figure 97.

Loop back mode

The beCAN can be set in loop back mode by setting the LBKM bit in the CDGR register. In

loop back mode, the beCAN treats its own transmitted messages as received messages

and stores them (if they pass acceptance filtering) in the FIFO.

Figure 98.

This mode is provided for self-test functions. To be independent of external events, the CAN

core ignores acknowledge errors (no dominant bit sampled in the acknowledge slot of a data
