RS232 to CAN converter

Key Features

RS232 and CAN physical layer conversion.
Galvanically uninsulated.
Physical layer CAN terminated with 120R.

Product description

The converter is used to convert the RS-232 physical layer to a more robust physical layer of the CAN bus, which can be used for communication with devices that use, for example, a CAN to UART converter for asynchronous communication. This communication is often found in LED control circuits such as the TPS92662. The device only converts physical layers and therefore the protocol control must be handled on the parent system/application side. The converter contains a CAN bus termination resistor 120R.
