ISL72027SEH
Functional Description
Overview
The Intersil ISL72027SEH is a 3.3V radiation tolerant CAN
transceiver that is compatible with the ISO11898-2 standard for
use in CAN (Controller Area Network) serial communication
systems.
The device performs transmit and receive functions between the
CAN controller and the CAN differential bus. It can transmit and
receive at bus speeds of up to 1Mbps. It is designed to operate
over a common-mode range of -7V to +12V with a maximum of
120 nodes. The device is capable of withstanding ±20V on the
CANH and CANL bus pins outside of ion beam and ±16V under
ion beam.
Slope Adjustment
The output driver rise and fall time has three distinct selections
that may be chosen by using a resistor from the RS pin to GND.
Connecting the RS pin directly to GND results in output switching
times that are the fastest, limited only by the drive capability of
the output stage. RS = 10kΩ provides for a typical slew rate of
8V/µs and RS = 50kΩ provides for a typical slew rate of 4V/µs.
Putting a high logic level to the RS pin places the device in a low
current listen mode. The protocol controller uses this mode to
switch between low power listen mode and a normal transmit
mode.
Cable Length
The device can work per ISO11898 specification with a 40m
cable and stub length of 0.3m and 60 nodes at 1Mbps. This is
greater than the ISO requirement of 30 nodes. The cable type
specified is a twisted pair (shielded or unshielded) with a
characteristic impedance of 120Ω. Resistors equal to this are to
be terminated at both ends of the cable. Stubs should be kept as
short as possible to prevent reflections.
Cold Spare
High reliability system designers implementing data
communications have to be sensitive to the potential for single
point failures. To mitigate the risk of a failure they will use
redundant bus transceivers in parallel. Space systems call for
high reliability in data communications that are resistant to
single point failures. This is achieved by using a redundant bus
transceiver in parallel. In this arrangement, both active and
quiescent devices can be present simultaneously on the bus. The
quiescent devices are powered down for cold spare and do not
affect the communication of the other active nodes.
To achieve this, a powered down transceiver (V_CC < 200mV) has
a resistance between the VREF pin or the CANH pin or CANL pin
and the V_CC supply rail of >480kΩ (max) with a typical resistance
>2MΩ. The resistance between CANH and CANL of a powered
down transceiver has a typical resistance of 80kΩ.
Listen Mode
When a high level is applied to the RS pin, the device enters a low
power listen mode. The driver of the transceiver is switched off to
conserve power while the receiver remains active. In listen mode
the transceiver draws 2mA (max) of current.
A low level on the RS pin brings the device back to normal
operation.
Using 3.3V Devices in 5V Systems
Looking at the differential voltage of both the 3.3V and 5V
devices, the differential voltage is the same, the recessive
common-mode output is the same. The dominant
common-mode output voltage is slightly lower than the 5V
counterparts. The receiver specs are also the same. Though the
electrical parameters appear compatible, it is advised that
necessary system testing be performed to verify interchangeable
operation.
Split Mode Termination
The VREF pin provides a V_CC/2 output voltage for split mode
termination. The VREF pin has the same ESD protection,
short-circuit protection, and common-mode operating range as
the bus pins.
The split mode termination technique is shown in Figure 19.

It is used to stabilize the bus voltage at V_CC/2 and prevent it from
drifting to a high common-mode voltage during periods of
inactivity. The technique improves the electromagnetic
compatibility of a network. The split mode termination is put at
each end of the bus.
The C_L capacitor between the two 60Ω resistors filters unwanted
high frequency noise to ground. The resistors should have a
tolerance of 1% or better and the two resistors should be
carefully matched to provide the most effective EMI immunity. A
typical value of C_L for a high speed CAN network is 4.7nF, which
generates a 3dB point at 1.1Mbps. The capacitance value used is
dependent on the signaling rate of the network.
