Abstract

Overview - ISO 20794-4:2020 (CXPI Data Link & Physical Layers)

ISO 20794-4:2020 defines the data link layer (DLL) and physical layer (PHY) for the Clock Extension Peripheral Interface (CXPI) used in road vehicles. The document specifies how CXPI frames are formed, transmitted and received, how clocking and bit-level arbitration are handled, and the electrical, connector and cable/wiring requirements for CXPI networks. It is part of the ISO 20794 series and is intended to ensure interoperable, robust in-vehicle communications for CXPI-enabled ECUs and peripheral devices.

Key technical topics and requirements

DLL architecture and services
- Priority-based network access and non-destructive content-based arbitration for frame collisions.
- Frame formats, field definitions (request identifiers, frame information, L_DATA, L_CRC) and broadcast frame transfer with acceptance filtering.
- Error detection and signalling (byte errors, CRC, parity, DLC errors, framing errors) and node-related error handling.
- Service Interface Parameters (SIP) for PDU, length, sequence count, wake-up and network management info.
Physical layer (PHY) sub-layers
- Physical Signalling (PS): clock generation, frame encoding/decoding, bit-wise collision resolution and clock/bit synchronization.
- Physical Media Attachment (PMA): signal shaping waveform logic, electrical and AC parameter requirements, wake-up pulse handling and dominant pulse filters.
- Physical Media Dependent (PMD): network termination, ESD protection and device connector requirements.
- Physical Media (PM): cable and wiring harness requirements for CXPI networks.
Timing & waveform
- Bit sample timing, timing parameters for inter-byte and inter-frame spacing, frame start/completion conditions and waveform generation concepts.
