The LT
®
1796 CAN transceiver provides built-in fault toler-
ance to survive in industrial and automotive environ-
ments. Discrete protection devices are not needed. Bus
interface pins can withstand voltage faults up to
±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
±15kV
air discharges and
±8kV
contact mode discharges
tested per IEC-1000-4-2. Loss of power or ground con-
nections does not damage the IC.
The circuit operates with data rates up to 125kbaud. A slew
control pin allows control of transmitted data pulse edges
to control EMI and reflection problems on imperfectly
terminated lines. High output current drive allows the use
of inexpensive PVC cable with impedance as low as 72Ω.
The 100kΩ input impedance allows up to 256 transceivers
per data network.
The LT1796 is available in 8-lead PDIP and SO packages.

PI FU CTIO S
TXD (Pin 1):
Driver Input. Logic-level thresholds are set by
V
REF
. A logic input level higher than V
REF
turns the driver
outputs off, releasing control of the CANH and CANL lines.
A logic input less than V
REF
turns the driver outputs on,
pulling CANH high and CANL low. An open TXD input will
float high, turning the driver outputs off. The TXD input pin
can withstand voltages from – 0.3V to 44V with no dam-
age.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground.
V
CC
(Pin 3):
Positive Supply Input. Normal operation is
with a 4.75V to 5.25V supply. Operation with supplies up
to 44V is possible with unterminated bus lines. Operation
at high voltages with normally terminated busses will
result in excessive power dissipation and activation of the
thermal shutdown circuit. V
CC
should be decoupled with
a 0.1µF low ESR capacitor placed as close to the supply pin
as possible.
RXD (Pin 4):
Receiver TTL Level-Logic Output. A high level
output indicates a recessive state (zero-volt differential)
bus. A dominant state forces a low receiver output.
V
REF
(Pin 5):
Reference Output. The reference voltage sets
the TXD input threshold and the recessive bus common
mode voltage at CANH and CANL. V
REF
is approximately
V
CC
/2 for low voltage operation. When V
CC
> 7.5V, V
REF
maintains a 3.5V level.
CANL (Pin 6):
CAN Bus Low Data Line. The CANL pin is one
input to the receiver and the low driver output. In the
dominant state (TXD low), the driver pulls the CANL pin to
within 1V of GND. In the recessive state (TXD high), the
driver output stays high impedance. The CANL pin is
protected from voltage faults from – 60V to 60V in domi-
nant, recessive, standby or powered off modes. On-chip
ESD protection meets IEC-1000-4-2 levels.
CANH (Pin 7):
CAN Bus High Data Line. The CANH pin is
one input to the receiver and the high driver output. In the
dominant state (TXD low), the driver pulls the CANH pin to
within 1V of V
CC
. In the recessive state (TXD high), the
driver output stays high impedance. The CANH pin is
protected from voltage faults from – 60V to 60V in domi-
nant, recessive, standby or powered off modes. On-chip
ESD protection meets IEC-1000-4-2 levels.
R
S
(Pin 8):
Slope Control. This pin is a multifunction
control pin. When R
S
is high (V
RS
> 4V), the circuit goes
into a low power standby mode. In standby, the driver
always stays in a high impedance (recessive) state. The
receiver operates in a low power (slow) monitoring mode.
Received data may be used to “wake-up” the system to full
functionality. Full speed normal operation occurs if R
S
is
tied low through a resistance of less than 3k. The current
out of R
S
will be limited to about 500µA in the low state.
Controlling the current out of R
S
with a resistor greater
than 3k or by using a current source allows slew rate
control of the data output onto CANH and CANL.
