Selectable CAN bus split termination

I am designing a CAN device where the user may switch between it being the end device and thus with terminators or vice versa. Now, there is no need to drive it digitally using MCU, I would actually ...

Does the standard termination of 120 ohm really suppress reflections in recessive state in CAN?

Suppose we have a multi-node CAN network with the ends of transmission line terminated with the standard 120 ohm. When the recessive state is on the transmission line, the voltage on both CAN_H and ...

Should I remove the termination resistor from the CAN Bus transceiver module?

I develop a CAN-BUS receiver (logger) with an ESP32 and CAN-BUS transceiver. The CAN-BUS transceiver modules which I found and bought have both 120 Ohm termination resistors. But the CAN-BUS to which ...

The CAN bus in this vehicle has only one 120 ohm termination resistance. What problems would this provoke?

This vehicle that I've started co-developing is designed with only a 120 termination resistor on the CAN bus. Obviously there should be two of those resistors on two ends of the bus. I will be making ...

How far can a terminating resistor be from the literal end of a CAN bus?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is an upper limit for the distance a terminating resistor can be from the literal end of the CAN bus or where the last node is. We have an HMI that is connected ...

How does the data rate of a CAN bus affect the value of the capacitor used in a split termination scheme?

I'm helping to redesign the CAN bus of an electric car, and we're interested in achieving higher data rates of up to 8 Mbit/s. We have a transceiver selected, a CMC to reduce inductively coupled ...

Terminator in Raspberry Pi CAN-shield

I am planning to connect (at least) two Raspberry Pi + PiCAN2 shields via CAN. I think I understand the concept of a daisy-chained multidrop CAN line, but what about using the 120 ohm resistors for ...
