main CAN bus cable through a short connection known as a
“stub.” The pair of signal wires, CAN_H and CAN_L, constitutes
a transmission line. Every device on a low-speed/fault-tolerant
CAN network requires a termination resistor for each CAN data
line: R
RTH
for CAN_H and R
RTL
for CAN_L.
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of a low-speed/fault-tolerant
CAN bus with termination resistor placements.
