Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
TI offers a broad portfolio of high speed (HS) CAN transceivers compatible with the ISO11898-2 high speed CAN
standards. These include 5-V VCC only, 3.3-V VCC only, 5-V 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.
TI's CAN EVM helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of various TI CAN transceivers. It
also provides bus termination, bus filtering, and protection concepts. It is easily configured by the customer for
the TCAN10xx, TCAN33x, 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), or pin 5 (various functions). The EVM supports many options for CAN bus configuration.
It is pre-configured with two 120-Ω resistors that are connected on the bus via jumpers: a single resistor is
used with the EVM as a terminated line end (CAN is defined for 120-Ω impedance twisted pair cable) or both
resistors in parallel for electrical measurements representing the 60-Ω load the transceiver “sees” in a properly
terminated network (that is, 120-Ω 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 components.

EVM Setup and Operation
www.ti.com
2 EVM Setup and Operation
This section describes the setup and operation of the EVM for parameter performance evaluation.
2.1 Overview and Basic Operation Settings
2.1.1 VCC Power Supply (TB1, TP9, or JMP2)
The basic setup of the CAN EVM uses a single power supply required to evaluate standard 5-V or 3.3-V
single-supply transceiver device performance. For single-supply transceivers, connect the 5- or 3.3-V 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. Connect this power supply via JMP2,
JMP6, or TP8. Install a local buffering and decoupling capacitor 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 an existing customer-application board with a CAN
controller.

VRXD
Connects to Jumper JMP6 VRXD header to allow flexibility in using the device with power supply for
I/O on pin 5 of the transceiver
This header is arranged to provide a separate ground for each signal pair (TXD/GND and RXD/GND). If the
EVM is being used with lab equipment, connect separate cables to these main points via simple 2-pin header
connectors. If connecting the board to a processor-based system, connect a single cable with all power and
signals 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 0-Ω 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 0-Ω series resistor, R13.
2.1.6 MODE Select or 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 is used to configure pin 8 to a pullup to VCC or pulldown to GND configuration.
For most devices, when pin 8 is pulled to GND, the device is in “normal” or high speed mode. R3 is pre-installed
with 0-Ω resistor to GND for this purpose. For most devices, when pin 8 is pulled to VCC the device is 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 is not 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 is used to configure pin 5 to: pullup to VCC, pulldown to GND, VRXD or VIO
supply input, or VREF or SPLIT termination output.
•
•
•
•
VREF or SPLIT termination: If the device and application support split termination, set JMP6 to VCM (V
common mode) to drive the VREF or SPLIT pin common mode stabilizing voltage output to the center tap of
the split termination capacitor. Install these components on the EVM as outlined in the CAN bus termination
section.
No Connection: If the device and application require no use of pin 5, leave it open. If the device has the
VREF or SPLIT pin but the application is not using the pin for split termination then add a capacitor on C6 to
improve EMC performance.
2nd Mode or Control Input: if the device and application use pin 5 as a second mode or control pin, then set
JMP6 as either a pullup to VCC or pulldown to GND, as necessary.
I/O and RXD level-shifting supply: if the device and application used with VIO or VRXD to level shift I/O pins
on the transceiver then set JMP6 to VRXD connecting pin 5 of the device to the VRXD pin on JMP2. Install local
buffering and bypass capacitor C6.
2.1.12 JMP2 Configuration
Using header JMP2 assumes all the digital I/O signals, VCC, and 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, set the jumper
to route JMP2 supply input to the transceiver pin.
2.1.13 TP8 Configuration
This connects directly to device pin 5. Ensure JMP6 configuration is not conflicting if TP8 is used as an input
connection.

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

2.3 Using Customer Installable I/O Options for Current Limiting, Pullup and 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 allowing for series current-limiting resistors (default populated with
0 Ω), pullup or down resistors (depending on pin use), and a capacitor to GND which allows for RC filters when
configured with a series resistor. Table 2-4 lists these features for each of the digital input and output pins of the
EVM. Replace or populate the RC components as necessary for the application.
