The CAN physical layer is still isolated regardless of the power source
chosen.
Bus Power Supply Requirements
If the CAN physical layer is powered from a bus power supply, the power
supply should be a DC power supply with an output of 10 V to 30 V. The
power requirements for the CAN ports for bus-powered configurations are
shown in Table C-1. You should take these requirements into account when
determining requirements of the bus power supply for the system.
