Need To Tune-Up Your Network Signal Quality? Now You CAN (FD)!
Featured Article - Submitted by Mike Donnelly on 1 Mar 2018 | 17:23 PSTEver since the CAN specification was released many decades ago, designers have pushed their network configurations beyond the conservative limits of the standard, driven by manufacturablity, customization flexibility and other non-technical reasons. With thorough engineering analysis, including electrical simulation of the physical layer, they were able to design communication systems that meet both demanding performance and economic requirements.
