Silicon Labs Isolated-CAN-EK Evaluation Kit
Silicon Labs Isolated-CAN-EK Evaluation Kit provides a demonstration and evaluation platform for creating Isolated CAN solutions. This evaluation kit is designed to be used with the CAN-capable EFM32 starter kits. The Isolated-CAN-EK simplifies creating an isolated CAN solution by offering a pre-built functioning platform. The Isolated-CAN-EK Evaluation Kit includes an expansion board with one digital isolator, two CAN transceivers, a 20-pin breakout header for easy connections, multiple headers for debugging and evaluation, and screw terminals for the physical CAN bus. Additional features include breakout points, loopback jumpers, termination options for CAN, a transformer for easy power over isolation, and status LEDs. The expansion board connects to the EFM32 starter kits to protect components while allowing power and communication transfer.Software demos are available in Silicon Lab's Simplicity Studio. These software demos send signals across the isolation barrier when the EFM32 MCU starter kit is connected to the Isolated CAN expansion board. Signal messages display on the screen of the EFM32 MCU starter kit. The software demo also showcases Silicon Labs' ISOVolt technology as the MCU powers components across the isolation barrier.
