The CAN EVM is populated with two 120-Ω power resistors selectable via jumpers between CANH and CANL. When using one resistor, the EVM is used as a terminated end of a bus. For electrical measurements to represent the total loading of the bus, use both 120-Ω resistors in parallel to give the standard 60-Ω load for parametric measurement. The EVM also has footprints for split termination if needed for the application. Table 2-2 summarizes how to use these termination options. If using split termination, match the resistors. Calculate the common mode filter frequency using: fC = 1 / (2πRC). Normally, the split capacitance is in the range of 4.7 nF to 100 nF. Note the that a common-mode filter frequency, not a differential filter impacts the differential CAN signal directly.
Termination Configuration | 120-Ω Resistors | Split Termination Footprints | Split Termination Footprints | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
J5 | J6 | R4 | R10 | C4 | |
Standard termination (120 Ω) | shorted | open | N/A | N/A | N/A |
60-Ω load - electrical parametrics | shorted | shorted | |||
Split termination (common mode stabilization) | open | open | 60 Ω | 60 Ω | populated |
The EVM also has footprints for various protection schemes to enhance robustness for extreme system-level EMC/ESD requirements. Table 2-3 summarizes these options.
Configuration | Footprint Reference | Use Case | Population and Description |
---|---|---|---|
Series resistors or common mode choke | R5/R9 or L1 (common footprint) | Direct CAN transceiver to bus connection | R5 and R9 populated with 0 Ω (default population) |
Series resistance protection, CAN transceiver to bus connection | R5 and R9 populated with MELF resistor as necessary for harsh EMC environment | ||
CM choke (bus filter) | L1 populated with CM choke to filter noise as necessary for harsh EMC environment | ||
Bus filtering caps and transient protection | C2/C6 | Bus filter | Filter noise as necessary for harsh EMC environment. Use filter caps in combination with L1 CM choke. |
D1 | Transient and ESD protection | To add extra protection for system level transients and ±30 kV ESD events, ESD2CAN24-Q1is populated in the D1 socket. |
