8.2.1.1 Bus Loading, Length and Number of Nodes

A typical CAN application may have a maximum bus length of 40 meters and maximum stub length of 0.3m. However, with careful design, users can have longer cables, longer stub lengths, and many more nodes to a bus. A high number of nodes requires a transceiver with high input impedance such as the TCAN1162x-Q1

Many CAN organizations and standards have scaled the use of CAN for applications outside the original ISO 11898-2 standard. They made system level trade off decisions for data rate, cable length, and parasitic loading of the bus. Examples of these CAN systems level specifications are ARINC 825, CANopen, DeviceNet, SAE J2284, SAE J1939, and NMEA 2000.

A CAN network system design is a series of tradeoffs. In the ISO 11898-2:2016 specification, the driver differential output is specified with a bus load that can range from 50Ω to 65Ω where the differential output must be greater than 1.5V. The TCAN1162x-Q1 is specified to meet the 1.5V requirement down to 50Ω and is specified to meet 1.4V differential output at 45Ω bus load. The differential input resistance of the TCAN1162x-Q1 is a minimum of 4kΩ. If 100 TCAN1162x-Q1 devices are in parallel on a bus, this is equivalent to a 400Ω differential load in parallel with the nominal 60Ω bus termination which gives a total bus load of approximately 52Ω. Therefore, the TCAN1162x-Q1 theoretically supports over 100 devices on a single bus segment. However, for CAN network design margin must be given for signal loss across the system and cabling, parasitic loadings, timing, network imbalances, ground offsets and signal integrity thus a practical maximum number of nodes is often lower. Bus length may also be extended beyond 40 meters by careful system design and data rate tradeoffs. For example, CANopen network design guidelines allow the network to be up to 1km with changes in the termination resistance, cabling, less than 64 nodes and significantly lowered data rate.

The flexibility in CAN network design is one of the key strengths of the various extensions and additional standards that have been built on the original ISO 11898-2 CAN standard. However, when using the flexibility, the CAN network system designer must take the responsibility of good network design for a robust network operation.
