SN65HVD256: Application issues

Expert 1280 points
Part Number: SN65HVD256

Hi,

CAN signal waveform abnormality.

Schematic diagram:

  • Hi Reed,

    I've assigned one of our CAN experts to this thread, they should get back to you by tomorrow.

  • Hi Reed,

    CAN transceivers do not cause ground shift like this. This waveform shape is very likely caused by your compressor's interference with the cabling. CAN receivers are able to reject this common-mode noise and focus exclusively on the differential signal, as shown in the purple line CANH-CANL. As long as these signals remain within the recommended operating conditions, the device should behave normally.

    I'd recommend reevaluating your cabling layout to see if you can provide some additional clearance between your compressor and the cable harness. Also, consider some sort of shielding if you're trying to eliminate this noise pattern.

    Best,

    Danny
