Introduction
1.1
Overview
www.ti.com
Texas Instruments offers a broad portfolio of High Speed (HS) CAN transceivers compatible with the
ISO11898-2 High Speed CAN standards. These include 5V VCC only, 3.3V VCC only, 5V VCC with I/O level
shifting and galvanic-isolated CAN transceivers. These CAN transceiver families include product mixes
with varying features such as low power standby modes with and without wake up, silent modes, loop
back and diagnostic modes.
The Texas Instruments CAN EVM helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of various TI
CAN transceivers. It also provides PCB footprints for different bus termination, bus filtering and protection
concepts. The CAN EVM is provided with the SN65HVD255 installed. It is easily configured by the
customer for the SN65HVD23x, SN65HVD25x, SN65HVD10x0 and SN65HVDA54x CAN transceiver
families as needed by jumper settings, simple soldering tasks and replacement of standard components. A
separate EVM is available for the galvanic-isolated CAN transceiver family.
1.2
CAN EVM
The CAN EVM has simple connections to all necessary pins of the CAN transceiver device, and jumpers
where necessary to provide flexibility for device pin and CAN bus configuration. There are test points
(loops) for all main points where probing is necessary for evaluation such as GND, VCC, TXD, RXD,
CANH, CANL, Pin 8 (mode pin), Pin 5 (various functions). The EVM supports many options for CAN bus
configuration. It is pre-configured with two 120Ω resistors that may be connected on the bus via jumpers:
a single resistor is used with the EVM as a terminated line end (CAN is defined for 120Ω impedance
twisted pair cable) or both resistors in parallel for electrical measurements representing the 60Ω load the
transceiver “sees” in a properly terminated network (i.e. 120Ω termination resistors at both ends of the
cable). If the application requires “split” termination, TVS diodes for protection, or Common Mode (CM)
Choke, the EVM has footprints available for this via customer installation of the desired component(s).

2 EVM Setup and Operation
This section describes the setup and operation of the EVM for parameter performance evaluation.
2.1
2.1.1
Overview & Basic Operation Settings
VCC Power Supply (TB1 or TP9 or JMP2)
The basic setup of the CAN EVM uses a single power supply required to evaluate standard 5V or 3.3V
single supply transceiver devices performance. For single-supply transceivers, connect the 5V or 3.3V VCC
supply to the TB1 jumper header, or the VCC and GND test-point loops. The power supplied should meet
the required specification of VCC for the transceiver being tested. LED D3 is used to indicate VCC presence.
2.1.2
I/O Power Supply VRXD or VIO (JMP2, JMP6 or TP8)
For devices with I/O level shifting, a second supply pin for the I/O or RXD pin is on Pin 5 of the transceiver
device. A second power supply is needed to test one of these devices and should be connected via JMP2,
JMP6 or TP8. A local buffering and decoupling capacitor should be installed at C6 if the EVM is used for
one of these devices.
2.1.3
Main Supply and I/O Header (JMP2)
All key I/O and supply GND functions are brought to this header. It may be used on either interface to test
equipment or a short cable could be made to connect to either an existing customer application board or
MCU/DSP EVM board for a processor with a CAN controller

Connects to Jumper JMP6 VRXD header to allow flexibility in using device with power
supply for I/O on Pin 5 of transceiver.
This header is arranged to provide a separate grounds for each signal pair (TXD/GND and RXD/GND). If
the EVM is being used with lab equipment, separate cables can be connected to these main points via
simple 2 pin header connectors.If the board is being connected to a processor based system, a single
cable with all power & signals can be connected via a 10 pin header cable to this port.
2.1.4
TXD Input (JMP2 or TP1)
The TXD (pin 1) of the transceiver, transmit data is routed to JMP2 and TP1. The signal path to the JMP2
header is pre-installed with a 0Ω series resistor, R10.
2.1.5
RXD Output (JMP2 or TP7)
The RXD (pin 4) of the transceiver, receive data is routed to JMP2 and TP7. The signal path to the JMP2
header is pre-installed with a 0Ω series resistor, R13.

2.1.6
www.ti.com
MODE Select/ Pin 8 (JMP1, JMP2 or TP3)
Pin 8 of the transceiver is normally a mode control pin of the device. Pin 8 of the device is routed to JMP1,
JMP2 and TP7.
2.1.7
MODE - JMP1 configurations (3 way jumper)
If using separate I/O inputs JMP1 will be used to configure pin 8 to a pull up to VCC or pull down to GND
configuration. For most devices when Pin 8 is pulled to GND the device will be in “normal” or high speed
mode. R3 is pre-installed with 0Ω resistor to GND for this purpose. For most devices when Pin 8 is pulled
to VCC the device will be in a silent or low power standby mode. Devices with slope control mode use the
resistance to ground value to determine the slope of the driver output. R2 is left open for customers who
want to install a resistance to ground and use slope mode.
2.1.8
JMP2 configuration
Using header JMP2 which assumes all the digital I/O signals, VCC, GND are routed to an external system.
Ensure that the MODE (JMP1) jumper settings are not conflicting with signals to JMP2.
2.1.9
TP3 configuration
This connects directly to device pin 8. Ensure JMP1 configuration isn’t conflicting if TP3 is used as the
input connection.
2.1.10
Pin 5 (JMP6, JMP2 or TP8)
Pin 5 of the transceiver have various uses depending on the transceiver. Examples are VREF, SPLIT, VRXD,
VIO, LBK, EN, AB and No Connect (NC). Pin 5 of the device is routed to JMP6, JMP2 and TP8.
2.1.11
Pin 5 – JMP6 configurations (4 way jumper)
If using separate I/O inputs JMP6 will be used to configure pin 5 to: pull up to VCC, pull down to GND, VRXD
/ VIO supply input or VREF/SPLIT termination output.
• VREF/SPLIT termination: If the device & application support split termination then JMP6 should be set
to VCM (V Common Mode) to drive the VREF/SPLIT pin common mode stabilizing voltage output to the
center tap of the split termination capacitor. These components will need to be installed on the EVM as
outlined in the CAN bus termination section.
• No Connection: If the device & application require no use of pin 5 then it may be left open. If the
device has VREF or SPLIT pin but the application isn’t using the pin for split termination then a capacitor
may be added on C6 to improve EMC performance.
• 2nd Mode / Control Input: if the device & application use pin 5 as a second mode or control pin then
JMP6 should be set to as either a pull up to VCC or pull down to GND as necessary.
• I/O & RXD level shifting supply: if the device & application use with VIO or VRXD to level shift I/O pins
on the transceiver then JMP6 may be set to VRXD which connects pin 5 of the device to VRXD pin on
JMP2. Local buffering and bypass capacitor C6 should be installed.
2.1.12
JMP2 configuration
Using header JMP2 assumes all the digital I/O signals, VCC, GND are routed to an external system.
Ensure that Pin 5 (JMP6) jumper settings are not conflicting with signals to JMP2. For power supply VRXD
the jumper needs to be set to route JMP2 supply input to the transceiver pin.
2.1.13
TP8 configuration
This connects directly to device pin 5. Ensure JMP6 configuration isn’t conflicting if TP8 is used as an
input connection.

2.2
Using CAN Bus Load, Termination and Protection Configurations
The CAN EVM is populated with two 120Ω power resistors selectable via jumpers between CANH and
CANL. By using one, the EVM may be used as a terminated end of a bus. For electrical measurements to
represent the total loading of the bus, use both 120Ω resistors in parallel to give the standard 60Ω load for
parametric measurement. The EVM also has footprints is split termination is needed for the application.
The table below summarizes how to use these termination options. If split termination is used, care must
be taken to match the resistors. The common mode filter frequency may be calculated by: fC = 1/(2πRC).
Normally, the split capacitance is in the range of 4.7nF to 100nF. Keep in mind this is the common mode
filter frequency, not a differential filter that will impact the differential CAN signal directly.

Using Customer Installable I/O options for Current Limiting, Pullup/Pulldown, Noise
Filtering
The CAN EVM has footprints on the PCB for the installation of various filtering and protection options to
adapt the EVM to match CAN network topology requirements if the EVM is being used as a CAN node.
Each digital input or output pin has footprints to allow for series current limiting resistors (default populated
with 0Ω), pull up or down resistors depending on pin use and a capacitor to GND which configured with
the serial resistor allows for RC filters (noisy environments). The table below lists these features for each
of the digital input and output pins of the EVM. Replace or populate the RC components as necessary for
