Place the protection and filtering circuitry
close to the bus connector, J1, to prevent transients, ESD, and noise from
propagating onto the board. This layout example shows optional transient voltage
suppression (TVS) diodes, D1 and D2, which may be implemented if the
system-level requirements exceed the specified rating of the transceiver. This
example also shows optional bus filter capacitors C6, C8, C9 and C11.
Design the bus protection components in the direction of the signal path. Do not force the transient current to divert from the signal path to reach the protection device.
Decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
as possible to the supply pins VCC and VIO of
transceiver.
Use at least two vias for supply and ground connections of bypass capacitors and protection devices to minimize trace and via inductance.
Note:
High frequency current follows the path of least impedance and not the path of least resistance.
This layout example shows how split termination
could be implemented on the CAN node. The termination is split into two
resistors, R8 and R9 for channel 1, R10 and R11 for channel 2 with the center or
split tap of the termination connected to ground via capacitor C7 or C10. Split
termination provides common-mode filtering for the bus. See CAN Termination, CAN Bus Short Circuit Current Limiting, and Equation 2 for information on termination concepts and power ratings needed for the
termination resistor(s).
