nn Pin Compatible with Philips PCA82C251 The LTВ®1796 CAN transceiver provides built-in fault tolerance to survive in industrial and automotive environments.
Discrete protection devices are not needed. Bus interface
pins can withstand voltage faults up to В± 60V with respect
to ground with no damage to the device. Faults may occur while the transceiver is active, shut down or powered
off. On-chip ESD protection withstands up to В±15kV air
discharges and В± 8kV contact mode discharges tested per
IEC-1000-4-2. Loss of power or ground connections does
not damage the IC. nn The circuit operates with data rates up to 125kbaud. A
slew control pin allows control of transmitted data pulse …
