9.2.2.1 CAN Termination

The ISO 11898 standard specifies the interconnect to be a twisted-pair cable (shielded or unshielded) with 120-Ω characteristic impedance (ZO). Resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line must be used to terminate both ends of the cable to prevent signal reflections. Unterminated drop lines, stubs, connecting nodes to the bus must be kept as short as possible to minimize signal reflections. The termination may be on the cable or in a node, but if nodes may be removed from the bus, the termination must be carefully placed so that it is not removed from the bus

Termination may be a single 120-Ω resistor at the end of the bus either on the cable or in a terminating node. If filtering and stabilization of the common mode voltage of the bus is desired, then split termination may be used, see Figure 16. Split termination improves the electromagnetic emissions behavior of the network by eliminating fluctuations in the bus common-mode voltages.

The TCAN4420 transceiver supports both 5-V only applications and applications where level shifting is needed for a 3.3-V microcontroller. See Figure 17 and Figure 18 for application examples.
