Communicates over noisy DC (Power) Lines.
Interfaces with CAN-bus controller as its transceiver.
Selectable data rates 31Kbps to 250Kbps.
One or two operating frequencies.
Use of low cost passive filter(s).
10V to 36V operation using switching power supply.
Four indication LEDs.
Small size board (70mm*42mm).
The DCAN250 Evaluation Board (EVB) emulates and test the operation of the DCAN250 as a CAN-bus 'transceiver' in a network. Multiple DCAN250 boards can communicate over vehicle's DC power-line using the CAN-bus protocol.
The EVB contains the required hardware for operation such as a modem, line protection network, passive filters and a switching power supply. The board transmits the CAN-bus protocol message over the DC power-line at data rates of up to 250kbps. It provides an alternative physical layer (transceiver) for CAN-bus ECU. The EVB may be connected directly to a ECU (CAN-bus controller) through its I/O connector. The DCAN250 EVB operates from a power source between 10V and 36V.
