The EVM has simple connections to all necessary pins of the CAN transceiver device, the CAN FDL Responder 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, VDD, VCC, VIO, VSUP, 5VLED, TXD, RXD, CANH, CANL, and other logic pins. The EVM supports many options for CAN bus configuration. The EVM allows for two termination schemes through the use of jumpers to select between the split termination configuration or a single 120Ω resistor. If needed, there are footprints for a common-mode choke, TVS diode for ESD protection, and capacitors for further EMC protection or signal conditioning. A DSUB9 connector is included to allow the evaluation and use of the CAN bus in larger systems.
