Getting to know the hardware
3.13 Bus terminal communication
The transformers isolate communication between the MC33771 and the pack controller and between each MC33771. They are protected
against ESD (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4). There are significant advantages to using transformers for isolation and communication:
•
High degree of voltage isolation
•
Communication rates of 2.0 MHz with very low radiated emissions
•
Ability to force the secondary signals to be true differential reducing radiated emissions
•
Ability to loop the network back to the pack controller

Some component values may be placed and adjusted for EMC purpose: C91 (default 22 pf), C92 (default 22 pF), R107, R108, C68, C69,
and the pi filter made of R105, R106 and C93. By default, all other components (except C91 and C92) are not populated.
