The universal 8-pin CAN EVM provides users with the ability to evaluate all of TI's 8-pin CAN transceiver families. The universal 8-pin CAN EVM is configurable for use with all TI 8-pin CAN transceiver families by populating the transceiver and setting jumpers on the EVM.
This EVM also has the footprints for a SIC network, which can be connected to the CAN bus lines via user-installed J4 and J5. Connecting the SIC network to CANH and CANL simulates a noisy CAN bus by adding more reflections and ringing to the signals. This can be used to test the reliability of the transceiver in a very noisy environment.
