Notes

  • TXD: Connected to internal pull-up resistor (nominal 33 kΩ) to VIO. Driven Low for Dominant state, High for Recessive state.
  • RXD: CMOS-compatible output supplied by VIO. High when CAN bus is Recessive, Low in Dominant state.
  • VIO: Digital I/O supply for TXD, RXD, and STBY pins. Supports 1.8V to 5V operation.
  • STBY: Internal MOS pull-up resistor to VIO. Selects Normal (Low) or Standby (High) mode.
  • EP (Exposed Thermal Pad): Recommended to connect to VSS for improved electromagnetic immunity and thermal performance.
  • CANL/CANH: Differential CAN bus pins; internally disconnected from bus when device is unpowered.
