33388 FAULT TOLERANT CAN INTERFACE

Yipee, as I already know the development board has CAN, however, the CAN physical layer was not obvious at all.

Using the schematics and following some copper, I can confirm that the development board has one physical interface. Another physical interfaces can be added, however, that will involve some soldering ;-)

CAN Physical layer details:
- Low-speed
- Fault tolerant CAN physical interface device
- Compatible with CAN 2.0 A and B protocals. (Very important)
- Very low sleep/standby current (15mA typical)
- Supports communication speeds up to 125 kB/s (Min: 10 kB/s)
- -40°C ≤ TA ≤ 125°C

Some Features:
- Automatic switching to single wire mode in the event of bus failures with
return to differential mode if bus failures disappear
- Supports unshielded twisted pair bus
