Automotive isolated CAN and power front end reference design
This reference design from Texas Instruments demonstrates reinforced isolated CAN communication, which is widely used in automotive environments, in a small footprint. In hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV/EVs), a complete high-voltage network is floating with respect to the chassis ground.
Isolation is required for the power and communication channels interfaced between floating high- to low-voltage systems. This TI design has a low transmission delay, which reduces the loop delay and supports higher baud rates of the CAN.
Features:
- Integrated CAN and digital isolator (ISO1042-Q1).
- Low loop delay (typically 139 ηs) to support high-speed arbitration rates.
- Inbuilt reinforced digital isolation.
- ±70-V bus fault protection.
- Compliant with ISO 11898-2 CAN standard.
