Universal 8-pin CAN Evaluation Module
Description
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,
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.
