9.1 Overview

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a robust multi master-master, differential signaling, serial communications bus specified by the ISO 11898 family of standards. TI's SSN65HVD23x family of transceivers solve specialized networking requirements for various applications.

9.3 Feature Description

9.3.1 ISO 11898 Compliance of SN65HVD23x Family of 3.3-V CAN Transceivers

Many users value the low power consumption of operating CAN transceivers from a 3.3-V supply. However, some are concerned about the interoperability with 5-V supplied transceivers on the same bus. This section analyzes this situation to address those concerns.

9.3.1.1 Differential Signal

CAN is a differential bus where complementary signals are sent over two wires, and the voltage difference between the two wires defines the logical state of the bus. The differential CAN receiver monitors this voltage difference and outputs the bus state with a single-ended output signal.

diff_pov_wf_lls557.gifFigure 26. Typical SN65HVD23x Differential Output Voltage Waveform

The CAN driver creates the difference voltage between CANH and CANL in the dominant state. The dominant differential output of the SN65HVD23x is greater than 1.5 V and less than 3 V across a 60-Ω load. The minimum required by ISO 11898 is 1.5 V and the maximum is 3 V. These are the same limiting values for 5-V supplied CAN transceivers. The bus termination resistors drive the recessive bus state and not the CAN driver.

A CAN receiver is required to output a recessive state with less than 500 mV and a dominant state with more than 900-mV difference voltage on its bus inputs. The CAN receiver must do this with common-mode input voltages from –2 V to 7 V. The SN65HVD23x family receivers meet these same input specifications as 5-V supplied receivers.

9.3.1.1.1 Common-Mode Signal

A common-mode signal is an average voltage of the two signal wires that the differential receiver rejects. The common-mode signal comes from the CAN driver, ground noise, and coupled bus noise. Obviously, the supply voltage of the CAN transceiver has nothing to do with noise. The SN65HVD23x family driver lowers the common-mode output in a dominant bit by a couple hundred millivolts from that of most 5-V drivers. While this does not fully comply with ISO 11898, this small variation in the driver common-mode output is rejected by differential receivers and does not affect data, signal noise margins, or error rates.

9.3.1.2 Interoperability Of 3.3-V CAN in 5-V CAN Systems

The 3.3-V–supplied SN65HVD23x family of CAN transceivers are electrically interchangeable with 5-V CAN transceivers. The differential output is the same. The recessive common-mode output is the same. The dominant common-mode output voltage is a couple hundred millivolts lower than 5-V–supplied drivers, while the receivers exhibit identical specifications as 5-V devices.

Electrical interoperability does not assure interchangeability however. Most implementers of CAN buses recognize that ISO 11898 does not sufficiently specify the electrical layer and that strict standard compliance alone does not ensure interchangeability. This comes only with thorough equipment testing.
