Understanding the Differences Between CAN Bus and RS-485 Bus

Understanding the Differences Between CAN Bus and RS-485 Bus

For a long time, I couldn’t distinguish between the CAN and RS-485 buses because I felt there was no significant difference in the circuits; both are differential and connect to conversion chips. RS-485 basically requires only a serial port, while CAN requires a proprietary interface. I have used CAN bus once, but I have used … Read more

Do CAN Bus Systems Require Chokes?

Do CAN Bus Systems Require Chokes?

In automotive applications, the CAN bus transceiver interface circuit often includes a component known as a choke. This component is typically reserved for placement on the PCB, but in the final product, it may or may not be installed. What is the purpose of this component? Is it really necessary? 1. What is a choke? … Read more
