CAN bus always needs a resistor to shunt it (termination)?

zenerbjt:
Do you agree that even if you are only using  a CAN bus to port a simple low frequency signal  such as eg a low frequency PWM (speed control signal) being sent to an 3 phase BLDC inverter …then you still need a termination resistance shunting the CAN bus?
We are using the TCAN332 CAN transceiver.

TCAN332 CAN tranceiver:

oPossum:
4 out of 5 dentists agree that CAN bus should be terminated at each end.

poorchava:
You do, regardless of the number of nodes.

Aside from stuff like reflections, which may not be a problem is your lines are short, termination acts as a lossy element that can dissipate differential mode interferences, which may be a really serious problem, especially that you're working with a motor drive, which is typically a very noisy device.

I generally tend to place small value resistors in series with data lines to help dampening any random oscillations and noise that may get coupled to the line.

rvalente:
AFAIK, you not need only one but, two 120ohms terminations, at the begin and end of line.

This is the same for 485 (modbus), profibus DP and CAN

uer166:
With no termination you will fail transmission due to arbitration failure. The transceivers need termination to work properly to pull bus to recessive state, nothing to do with reflections/SI.
