Data Sheet - Detailed Description
8.18 Receiver
The Receiver generates from the FlexRay differential bus voltage a digital signal on the RxD and RxEN pins. RxD shows the data (Data0 and
Data1) and RxEN shows the bus idle and activity status received on the bus pins. The Receiver is only active in NORMAL and RECEIVE-ONLY
mode.

8.18.1 Bus Activity and Idle Detection (only in NORMAL and RECEIVE-ONLY mode)
If the absolute differential bus voltage is higher than VBUSActiveLow and less than VBUSActiveHigh for a time longer than tBUSIdleDetection, bus Idle is
detected, RxEN and RxD are switched to logical high after a time tBUSIdleReaction
.
If the absolute differential bus voltage is higher than VBUSActiveHigh or lower than VBUSActiveLow for a time loner than tBUSActivitiyDetection, bus
Activity is detected, RxEN is switched to logical low and RxD shows the detected bus data according to Table 11 after the time tBUSActivityReaction
.

8.18.2 Bus Data Detection (only in NORMAL and RECEIVE-ONLY mode)
If, after activity detection the differential bus voltage is higher than VData1, RxD will be high after a time tBUS_RxD01
.
If, after activity detection the differential bus voltage is lower than VData0, RxD will be low after a time tBUS_RxD10
