The SN65HVD1050 meets or exceeds the specifications of the ISO 11898 standard for use in applications employing a Controller Area Network (CAN).

As a CAN transceiver, this device provides differential transmit capability to the bus and differential receive capability to a CAN controller at signaling rates up to 1 megabit per second (Mbps)The signaling rate of a line is the number of voltage transitions that are made per second expressed in the units bps (bits per second)..

Designed for operation is especially harsh environments, the HVD1050 features cross-wire, over-voltage and loss of ground protection from -27 V to 40V, over-temperature shut down, a -12 V to 12 V common-mode range, and will withstand voltage transients from -200 V to 200 V according to ISO 7637.
