General Description
The ATA6560/1 is a high-speed CAN transceiver that
provides an interface between a Controller Area Net-
work (CAN) protocol controller and the physical
two-wire CAN bus. The transceiver is designed for
high-speed (up to 5 Mbps) CAN applications in the
automotive industry, providing differential transmit and
receive capability to (a microcontroller with) a CAN
protocol controller.
It offers improved Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
and ESD performance, as well as features such as:
• Ideal passive behavior to the CAN bus when the
supply voltage is off
• Direct interfacing to microcontrollers with supply
voltages from 3V to 5V (ATA6561)
Three operating modes, together with the dedicated
fail-safe features, make the ATA6560/1 an excellent
choice for all types of high-speed CAN networks,
especially in nodes requiring a Low-Power mode with
wake-up capability via the CAN bus.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ATA6560/1 is a stand-alone, high-speed CAN
transceiver, compliant with the ISO 11898-2 and
ISO 11898-5 standards. It provides a very low current
consumption in Standby mode and wake-up capability
via the CAN bus. There are two versions available, only
differing in the function of pin 5:
• ATA6560: Pin 5 is the control input for Silent mode
NSIL, allowing the ATA6560 to only receive data
and not send data via the bus. The output driver
stage is disabled. The VIO line and the VCC line
are internally connected; this sets the signal levels
of the TXD, RXD, STBY, and NSIL pins to levels
compatible with 5V microcontrollers.
• ATA6561: Pin 5 is the VIO pin and should be
connected to the microcontroller supply voltage.
This allows direct interfacing to microcontrollers
with supply voltages down to 3V and adjusts the
signal levels of the TXD, RXD, and STBY pins to
the I/O levels of the microcontroller. The I/O ports
are supplied by the VIO pin.
1.1
Operating Modes
The ATA6561 supports three operating modes: Unpow-
ered, Standby, and Normal. The ATA6560 has an addi-
tional Silent mode. These modes can be selected via
the STBY and NSIL pin. See
Figure 1-1
and
Table 1-1
for a description of the operating modes.

NORMAL MODE
A low level on the STBY pin, together with a high level on
pins TXD and NSIL, selects the Normal mode. In this
mode, the transceiver can transmit and receive data via
the CANH and CANL bus lines (see the
“Functional
Block Diagram”).
The output driver stage is active and
drives data from the TXD input to the CAN bus. The
High-Speed Comparator (HSC) converts the analog data
on the bus lines into digital data, which is output to pin
RXD. The bus biasing is set to V
VCC
/2, and the
undervoltage monitoring of VCC is active.
The slope of the output signals on the bus lines is
controlled and optimized to ensure the lowest possible
EME.
To switch the device to a normal operating mode, set
the STBY pin to low and the TXD and NSIL pins (if
applicable) to high (see
Table 1-1, Figure 1-2,
and
Figure 1-3).
Both the STBY and the NSIL pins provide
a pull-up resistor to VIO, thus ensuring defined levels if
the pins are open.
The device cannot enter the Normal mode as long as
the TXD is at ground level. ATA6560 only switches to
the Normal mode when all inputs are set accordingly.
