Hm, what has "differential" to do with "positive" and "negative" ? Isn't the whole idea with differential that you don't need to know wheither one or the other line is positive or negative, as long as one is *more* positive (or *less* negative) then the othter ? There is no ground reference in a differatial line, right ? Jan-Erik. Alan B. Pearce wrote: > Looking at the CAN driver schematics I can see why Peter thinks they may be > a single ended system.
