The universal SOIC 14-pin CAN evaluation module (EVM) provides users with the ability to evaluate all the TI 14-pin CAN transceiver families. The universal 14-pin CAN EVM is configurable for use with all the TI 14-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 J10 and J11. 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.
Features
- Standard and split termination on the CAN bus
- Footprints for filter capacitors, common-mode choke and TVS diode for CAN bus protection from RF noise and transient pulses
- Footprints for common 14-pin SOIC socket and CAN FD SIC loading
- DSUB9 connector with the CAN bus signals and GND for typical automotive cable harness connections
- All digital signals for configuration and control brought out to a header for easy access
- Multifunctional jumpers for different functional use of generic pins
