1Introduction
The PCAN-Optoadapter is a universal plug-on adapter to allow
galvanic isolation of High-speed CAN bus systems.
Its integrated logic means that decoupling can be installed at any
point in the CAN network.
1.1 Properties at a Glance
Plug-on adapter for decoupling a CAN bus for PEAK CAN
interfaces
Galvanic isolation by DC/DC converters up to 500 V
Bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s
High-speed CAN transceiver NXP PCA82C251
CAN bus connection via D-Sub, 9-pin
(in accordance with CiA® 102)
120 Ohm bus termination
Power supply (5 V) through pin 1 of the High-speed CAN
connection. Nearly all CAN interfaces by PEAK-System can
provide the required supply
Extended operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C
(-40 to 185 °F)
1.2 System Requirements
The power supply is done via pin 1 of the 9-pin female D-Sub
connector (primary side). Therefore the attached CAN interface
must provide 5 Volts.

Since the PCAN-Optoadapter already contains a CAN bus
termination on the primary side, the connected CAN adapter
doesn’t need to be terminated separately on this side.

2.1 Connection Primary Side
The PCAN-Optoadapter is directly connected to a CAN interface
with its so called primary side (D-Sub female).

The lines for the differential CAN signal CAN_H and CAN_L are
terminated on the adapter with a 120-Ωresistor (fixed). An
additional termination at the CAN interface is not needed.
2.2 Connection Secondary Side
A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin D-
Sub connector. The pin assignment for CAN corresponds to the
specification CiA® 102.

3Operation
3.1 Operation
A configuration of the PCAN-Optoadapter is not needed. You can
use it instantly.
For general supply the adapter uses a direct voltage of +5 V. This
must be applied to pin 1 of the CAN connector. The CAN interfaces
of the PCAN series are able to provide 5 Volts on Pin 1.
When the 5 V supply is active, the LED on the PCAN-Optoadapter is
green.
Attention! Risk of short circuit! When you connect the PCAN-
Optoadapter to or remove it from a CAN interface, latter must
be turned off (without power supply). Otherwise the PCAN-
Optoadapter or other electronic components may be damaged.

3.2 Signal Delay
The PCAN-Optoadapter has a transit time delay of approx. 80 ns.
This corresponds to a cable length of 16 m. Therefore, you should
consider the dependence of the maximum length of a CAN bus on
the bit rate at the installation of the PCAN-Optoadapter. The
following table shows the maximum possible CAN bus length at
different bit rates:
Bit rate Bus length Bus length with PCAN-Optoadapter
1 Mbit/s 40 m 24 m
500 kbit/s 110 m 94 m
250 kbit/s 240 m 224 m
125 kbit/s 500 m 484 m
50 kbit/s 1.3 km
20 kbit/s 3.3 km
10 kbit/s 6.6 km
5 kbit/s 13.0 km
For small bit rates, the delay of the
adapter can be neglected
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized
system and can differ from reality.
3.3 Status LED
The status LED on the top of the adapter indicates, whether it is
correct supplied. In this case, the LED is continuously green.
