FeaTures DescripTion
Overvoltage Fault Protected
CAN Transceiver
The LT
®
1796 CAN transceiver provides built-in fault toler-
ance to survive in industrial and automotive environments.
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 oc
-
cur 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 connections 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 imper
-
fectly terminated lines. High output current drive allows
the use of inexpensive P
VC 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.
