<strong>23</strong>.3.8.3.3 External Loopback Mode<br />
The external loopback mode is similar to the loopback mode; however, it includes the signal path from<br />
<strong>CAN</strong> core to Tx pin, the Tx pin itself, and the signal path from Tx pin back to <strong>CAN</strong> core. When external<br />
loopback mode is selected, the input of the <strong>CAN</strong> core is connected to the input buffer of the Tx pin.<br />
With this configuration, the Tx pin IO circuit can be tested.<br />
External loopback mode can be activated by setting bit ExL in test register to one.<br />
Figure <strong>23</strong>-7 shows the connection of signals <strong>CAN</strong>_TX and <strong>CAN</strong>_RX to the <strong>CAN</strong> core in external loopback<br />
mode.<br />
NOTE: When loopback mode is active (LBack bit set), the ExL bit will be ignored.<br />

<strong>23</strong>.3.8.3.4 Loopback Mode Combined With Silent Mode<br />
<strong>CAN</strong>_RX<br />
It is also possible to combine loopback mode and silent mode by setting bits LBack and Silent at the same<br />
time. This mode can be used for a “Hot Selftest,” i.e., the D<strong>CAN</strong> hardware can be tested without affecting<br />
the <strong>CAN</strong> network. In this mode, the <strong>CAN</strong>_RX pin is disconnected from the <strong>CAN</strong> core and no dominant bits<br />
will be sent on the <strong>CAN</strong>_TX pin.<br />
Figure <strong>23</strong>-8 shows the connection of the signals <strong>CAN</strong>_TX and <strong>CAN</strong>_RX to the <strong>CAN</strong> core in case of the<br />
combination of loopback mode with silent mode.<br />
