Galvanic isolation of the CAN bus
The galvanic isolation of the ECAN1000HR is implemented using the following:
•
Optocouplers for reliable data transmission
•
DC/DC converter to supply power to the CAN bus and the physical in-
terface circuitry.
The high-speed optocouplers are directly connected to the SJA1000. The opto-
couplers drive the CAN bus transceiver. A special balanced CAN bus choke is
used not only to improve immunity to bus noise, but also to protect the bus trans-
ceiver. This choke also reduces the radiated emissions in the range of 30-
200MHz.
A 1W DC/DC converter may be used to power other remote devices on the CAN
bus. The output power of this converter is isolated up to 1.5 kV peak. A 125mA
fuse (green) are used to protect the DC/DC converter.
The jumper marked as J34 is the CAN bus termination jumper. Only two termina-
tion jumpers should be closed at the endpoints of the CAN bus. Failure to do so
may degrade the performance of the bus or even cause permanent damage to
the driver chips. The maximum drive of the transceiver is 32 nodes.
