SV CAN Network SI

Easier CAN Analysis

SV CAN Network SI automates key analyses for CAN network design.

SV CAN Network SI harnesses the power of SystemVision multi-discipline simulation in a specialized, easy-to-use package. Network Designers quickly analyze the CAN physical layer to validate topologies and variants, early in the development process, without building physical prototypes.

SV CAN Network SI automatically models and simulates the analog, digital, and mixed-signal performance of a communication bus, including transceivers, twisted-pair transmission lines, network connection topologies, and other components and characteristics of the CAN physical layer, capabilities well beyond the manual calculation and prototyping tasks of the traditional network design process.

SV CAN Network SI Explained

SV CAN Network SI plays a key role in the challenge of verifying signal integrity for CAN network applications that span automotive (ISO 11898-2), commercial vehicle (SAE J1939), and agricultural equipment (ISO 11783). Component “recommended use” and standard network configuration guidelines provide for an overly conservative design that can be at odds with weight, cost, and layout constraints.

With an easy-to-use, Microsoft Excel-based design entry mechanism, SV CAN Network SI automatically generates the network design, configures data and communication sequences, runs the simulation, performs key CAN bus measurements, and captures pertinent analysis results in a simple go/no-go spreadsheet format. SV CAN Network SI helps design teams with the important network development tasks of signal characterization, parametric analysis, and EMI characterization and suppression.
