M5Stack Atomic CAN Base Isolated CAN Bus Communication Module
Description
M5Stack Atomic CAN Base is an ATOM CAN Bus base for adding isolated CAN communication to ATOM series controllers. Built around the CA-IS3050G CAN transceiver, this isolated CAN communication module includes an isolated DC-DC power design to reduce interference and protect sensitive circuits in vehicle equipment control, industrial field control, and CAN bus communication systems.
The M5Stack Atomic CAN Base supports CAN bus multi-point communication with up to 110 nodes, a signal rate up to 1Mbps, low loop delay, and common-mode voltage from -12V to 12V. For ATOM Matrix, ATOM Lite, ATOMS3, and ATOMS3 Lite projects, this ATOM CAN Bus base is a compact way to build a CAN bus communication interface without designing a separate transceiver board.
Features
- CAN bus multi-point communication: supports up to 110 nodes for scalable CAN bus communication networks.
- CA-IS3050G CAN transceiver: designed for isolated, reliable differential communication.
- Built-in isolated DC-DC: the isolated CAN communication module helps reduce interference and protect circuits.
- Up to 1Mbps signal rate: suitable for fast industrial control and vehicle equipment control data exchange.
- Protection functions: common-mode voltage range of -12V to 12V with signal protection for harsh electrical environments.
- ATOM ecosystem fit: the ATOM CAN Bus base works with ATOM Matrix, ATOM Lite, ATOMS3, and ATOMS3 Lite.

Other Content
The schematic and model size references are useful when mounting the M5Stack Atomic CAN Base in an enclosure or verifying the HT3.96-4P terminal wiring for CANH, CANL, power, and ground.


For ATOM-based CAN bus communication, the base form factor keeps wiring short and installation clean. The CA-IS3050G CAN transceiver is the key hardware part for the isolated CAN link. The CA-IS3050G CAN transceiver and isolated DC-DC design make the board more suitable for noisy control wiring than a simple non-isolated CAN adapter.
