Common-mode noise of varied magnitudes exist within the networks associated with CAN applications. Noise from pulsing motor controllers, switch-mode power supplies, or from fluorescent lighting load are the typical sources of noises that couple onto bus lines as displayed in Figure 11. These would otherwise be straight lines.
Figure 11. Common-Mode Noise Coupled Onto Four Twisted-Pair Bus Lines A CAN transceiver's receiver not specifically designed to reject this coupled noise can respond to common-mode noise as if it were data on a bus and send meaningless data to a controller. TI CAN transceivers are specifically designed and tested for their ability to reject this common-mode noise.
