PCAN-Optoadapter
Galvanically isolate a High-speed CAN connection
The PCAN-Optoadapter is a plug-on adapter that adds galvanic isolation to a High-speed CAN bus. Its built-in logic means you can place the isolation anywhere in the network, for example straight on the D-Sub of a PEAK CAN interface.
It takes its 5 V supply from pin 1 of the CAN connection, which nearly all PEAK CAN interfaces can provide. It also works in CAN FD buses with data bit rates up to 2 Mbit/s and nominal bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s.
Highlights
- Plug-on isolation for High-speed CAN
- DC/DC isolation up to 500 V
- 5 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s; CAN FD data up to 2 Mbit/s
- 120 ohm termination at the female D-Sub
- Powered from the CAN interface (pin 1, 5 V)
