ABSTRACT

Common-modechokesarefrequentlyusedinautomotiveCANnetworkstoincrease

systemreliabilitywithrespecttoelectromagneticcompatibility(EMC).Electromagnetic

interferenceemittedfromanElectronicControlModule(ECU)throughtheCAN

transceivercanbefiltered,thuslimitingunwantedhigh-frequencynoiseonthe

communicationbus.Anotherreasonforusingacommon-modechokeisattemptingto

improvethesusceptibility(immunity)ofthetransceivertoelectromagneticdisturbances

onthebus.

Whiletheabovementionedeffectsofthecommon-modechokearebeneficial,

unexpectedresultscanoccurundercertainconditions.EMCsusceptibilitycanbe

degradedinsomefrequencyranges,bussignalintegrityworsened,andextremelyhigh

transientvoltagesunderbus-failureconditionscanbegenerated,which,intheworst

case,canleadtodamageintheCANtransceiverandothernetworkcomponents.

andinductancevalue),alongwiththeterminationandprotectionschemeofthenode

andbustopreventdamagetotheCANtransceiverorothernetworkcomponents.This
