PRODUCTION DATA.
The input level threshold for the digital input pins of this device are 3.3-V compatible, however a few application considerations must be taken if using this device with 3.3-V microcontrollers. Both TXD and STB input pins have internal pullup sources to VCC. Some microcontroller vendors recommend using an open-drain configuration on their I/O pins in this case even though the pullup limits the current. As such care must be taken at the application level that TXD and STB have sufficient pullup to meet system timing requirements for CAN. The internal pullup on TXD especially may not be sufficient to overcome the parasitic capacitances and allow for adequate CAN timing; thus, an additional external pullup may be required. Care should also be taken with the RXD pin of the microcontroller as the RXD output of this device drives the full VCC range (5 V). If the microcontroller RXD input pin is not 5-V tolerant, this must be addressed at the application level. Other options include using a CAN transceiver from TI with I/O level adapting or a 3.3-V CAN transceiver.
