The SN65HVDA540/SN65HVDA541 meets or exceeds the specifications of the ISO 11898 standard for use in applications employing a Controller Area Network (CAN). The device is qualified for use in automotive applications.

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)⁽¹⁾.

Designed for operation in especially harsh environments, the SN65HVDA540/SN65HVDA541 features cross-wire, bus over voltage, loss of ground protection, over temperature thermal shut down protection, and a wide common-mode range.

The SN65HVDA540/SN65HVDA541 has an I/O supply voltage input pin (V_IO , pin 5) to ratiometrically level shift the digital logic input and output levels with repsect to V_IO for compatibility with protocol controllers having I/O supply voltages between 3 V and 5.
