Abstract
A set of devices are coupled to a control area network (CAN) bus. At least some of the devices include switchable resistors that can apply a termination resistor to the CAN bus. Identification pins are used to identify devices on the CAN bus, and also to identify which device or devices are at the ends of the CAN bus. If a device is at an end of the CAN bus, the switch of the switchable resistor is set to couple the termination resistor to the CAN bus. Otherwise, the termination resistor is not coupled to the CAN bus.
