These CAN transceivers are typically used in applications with a host microprocessor or FPGA that includes the data link layer portion of the CAN protocol. The following typical application configurations are for both 5-V and 3.3-V microprocessor applications. The bus termination is shown for illustrative purposes.
Some typical applications for the HVDA55x family are shown in the following sections.
The ISO 11898-2 Standard specifies a maximum bus length of 40 m and maximum stub length of 0.3 m. However, with careful design, users can have longer cables, longer stub lengths, and many more nodes to a bus. A large number of nodes requires transceivers with high input impedance such as the HVDA55x family of transceivers.
Many CAN organizations and standards have scaled the use of CAN for applications outside the original ISO 11898-2. They have made system-level trade-offs for data rate, cable length, and parasitic loading of the bus. Examples of some of these specifications are ARINC825, CANopen, DeviceNet, and NMEA2000.
The ISO 11898 standard specifies the interconnect to be a twisted pair cable (shielded or unshielded) with 120-Ω characteristic impedance (ZO). Resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line must be used to terminate both ends of the cable to prevent signal reflections. Unterminated drop lines (stubs) connecting nodes to the bus must be kept as short as possible to minimize signal reflections. The termination may be on the cable or in a node, but if nodes may be removed from the bus, the termination must be carefully placed so that two terminations always exist on the network.
Termination may be a single 120-Ω resistor at the end of the bus, either on the cable or in a terminating node. If filtering and stabilization of the common-mode voltage of the bus is desired, then split termination may be used (see Figure 22). Split termination improves the electromagnetic emissions behavior of the network by eliminating fluctuations in the bus common-mode voltages at the start and end of message transmissions.
The family of transceivers have variants for both 5-V-only applications, and applications where level shifting is needed for a 3.3-V micrcontroller.
Transceiver loop delay is a measure of the overall device propagation delay and consists of the delay from driver input (TXD pin) to differential outputs (CANH and CANL), plus the delay from the receiver inputs (CANH and CANL) to the RXD output pin.
In Figure 24 is displayed the loop delay at 1 Mbps with VIO equal to 3.3 V
