The TJA1050 is an advanced CAN transceiver for use in automotive and general industrial applications. It supports the differential bus signal representation being described in the international standard for invehicle CAN high-speed applications (ISO11898). Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial bus protocol being primarily intended for transmission of control related data between a number of bus nodes. This application note provides information how to use the TJA1050 in CAN high-speed applications.
