Use probes summarized in Table 5 to observe operation at 
various points.  TP1, TP2 and TP3 provide GND for probes 
at 3 different spots.

Jumper and Testing Options

Power LED - J2

Connect Jumper J2 1-2 to illuminate the D1 LED when 
power is connected if desired.

 Under Maximum CAN Bus Load - J4 and J13

Connect J4, J13  and V

TEST

 together to form the Figure 5 

test circuit in the datasheet.  The 330

Ω

 resistors represent 

the maximum resistance  or load of N nodes in parallel 
on the CAN Bus while measuring V

OD

 and other device 

performance.

Driver Input - J5 and J6

J5 allows for connecting pin 1 (D) of the transceiver under 
test to one of the following:

Ground (dominant bus state), 

V

CC

 (recessive bus state) 

An external input signal.  

J6 is provided for probing as mentioned in Table 5.

Bus Termination - J7 and J10

As mentioned in the last section, J7 and J10 are factory 
installed for bus termination between CANH and CANL.  If 
two EVBs are used, then connect J7 on one board and J10 
on the other board for balanced termination.

Pin 8 (RS) Mode Selection - E1

Connect E1 in one of the following ways to configure pin 8 
(RS):

1-5 to ground for high speed mode (factory 
setting)

3-5 to pullup to V

CC

 for lower power mode

4-5 to pulldown to ground for slope control mode

2-5 to pulldown to ground for slope control mode 
with the TRIMPOT to adjust slope and speed.
