Application Note
AN96116
Summary
This report is intended to provide basic technical information for the implementation of the Physical Medium
Attachment in a CAN network according to the ISO 11898 standard, using the transceiver products PCA82C250
and PCA82C251 from Philips Semiconductors. These products support bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s over a two-wire
differential bus line, which is the transmission medium being specified by the ISO 11898 standard.
The report provides typical application circuit diagrams with and without electrical isolation and discusses several
topics in more detail like slope control mode, stand-by mode, maximum bus length and maximum number of bus
nodes per network.
