Place the protection and filtering circuitry close to the bus connector, J1, to prevent transients, ESD, and noise from propagating onto the board. This layout example shows a optional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode, D1, which may be implemented if the system-level requirements exceed the specified rating of the transceiver. This example also shows optional bus filter 0.1μF capacitors C4 and C5.
Design the bus protection components in the direction of the signal path. Do not force the transient current to divert from the signal path to reach the protection device.
Decoupling 0.1μF capacitors is placed as close as possible to the supply pins VCC and VIO of transceiver.
Use at least two vias for supply and ground connections of bypass capacitors
and protection devices to minimize trace and via inductance.
Note: High frequency current
follows the path of least impedance and not the path of least
resistance.
This layout example shows how split termination could be implemented on the CAN node. The termination is split into two 60Ω resistors, R4 and R5, with the center or split tap of the termination connected to ground via a 1nF - 100nF capacitor C3. Split termination provides common-mode filtering for the bus. See CAN Termination, CAN Bus Short Circuit Current Limiting, and 2 for information on termination concepts and power ratings needed for the termination resistor(s).
