Pin Description
1 1 1 1 TXD Transmit Data Input. TXD is a CMOS/TTL compatible input from a CAN controller with an internal pullup to VDD.
2 2 LPBK Loopback Mode. When connected to logic-high, the transmitter and receiver are placed in a high-impedance state. Internally, the TXD line drives directly to the RXD line for loopback that can be used for self-diagnostic of the transceiver without disturbing the bus. When loopback mode is not used, connect to GND or leave floating.
2 2 3 3 GND Ground
3 3 4 4 VDD Supply Voltage. Bypass VDD to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
4 4 5 5 RXD Receive Data Output. RXD is a CMOS/TTL compatible output from the physical bus lines CANH and CANL.
5 5 6 6 FAULT Fault Detected Indication. Stays low when fault is not detected. Release to high if an overcurrent, overvoltage, or transmission failure is detected.
7 7 VL Logic Supply Input. VL is the logic supply voltage for the input/output between the CAN transceiver and controller. VL allows full compatibility from +1.62V to +5.5V logic on all digital lines. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Connect VL to VDD for 5V logic compatibility.
6 6 8 8 CANL CAN Bus Line Low
7 7 9 9 CANH CAN Bus Line High
8 10 S Silent Mode Input. Drive S low to enable TXD and to operate in normal mode. Drive S high to disable the transmitter. A 26.1kΩ external resistor can be used to connect the S pin to ground for slow slew mode.
8 10 STBY Standby Mode Input. A logic-high on STBY pin selects the standby mode. In standby mode, the transmitter is disabled, and the receiver is in low-power mode. A logic-low on STBY pin puts the transceiver in normal operating mode. A 26.1kΩ external resistor can be used to connect the STBY pin to ground for slow slew mode.
