CAN bus
A Microchip MCP2515 CAN 2.0B protocol compatible controller and MCP2551
transceiver are used on the ZEUS to provide Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
connectivity. CAN is a high-integrity serial data communications bus for real-time
applications. It operates at data rates of up to 1 Mbit/s and has excellent error
detection capabilities. A 16MHz clock is supplied to the CAN controller.
The MCP2515 controller connects to the SPI serial interface of the PXA270 processor.
A MCP2551 transceiver is opto-isolated from the rest of the circuit (3.75kV isolation
voltage), but an external isolated 5V supply needs to be provided to supply the
transceiver and the opto-isolators. Alternatively, non-isolated operation is available
through a factory fit option. Contact
(see page
details.
The CAN bus interface is broken out to the header J17. For connector details see the
, page
Jumpers JP5, JP6 can be used to connect 62
Ω
termination resistors when the ZEUS is
at the end of the network. Split termination concept is used on ZEUS (see figure
below). For details see the section
