External protection (such as clamping diodes) must be installed if inductive loads are connected to the 5 V supply output.
CAN L / H
Warning
CAN-bus requires no common reference (ground). However, it is recommended that GND is carried along with CAN-L/H to prevent common-mode voltage from exceeding limits.
