The SN55HVD233-SEP is used in applications employing the controller area network (CAN)
serial communication physical layer in accordance with the ISO 11898 standard. As a CAN
transceiver, the device provides transmit and receive capability between the differential CAN bus
and a CAN controller, with signaling rates up to 1 Mbps.
Designed for operation in especially harsh radiation environments, the SN55HVD233-SEP
features cross-wire, overvoltage, loss of ground protection to ±16 V, and overtemperature (thermal
shutdown) protection. This device operates over a wide –7-V to 12-V common mode range. This
transceiver is the interface between the host CAN controller on the microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC,
and the differential CAN bus used in satellite applications.
Modes: The RS, pin 8 of the SN55HVD233-SEP, provides for three
modes of operation: high-speed, slope control, or low-power standby mode. The user selects the
high-speed mode of operation by connecting pin 8 directly to ground, allowing the driver output
transistors to switch on and off as fast as possible with no limitation on the rise and fall slope.
The user can adjust the rise and fall slope by connecting a resistor to ground at pin 8, because
the slope is proportional to the pins output current. Slope control is implemented with a resistor
value of 0 Ω to achieve a single ended slew rate of approximately 38 V/µs, and up to a value of 50
kΩ to achieve approximately 4-V/µs slew rate. For more information about slope control, refer to
the Application and Implementation section.
The SN55HVD233-SEP enters a low-current standby (listen-only) mode during which the
driver is switched off and the receiver remains active if a high logic level is applied to pin 8.
The local protocol controller reverses this low-current standby mode when it needs to transmit to
the bus. For more information on the loopback mode, refer to the Application Information
section.
Loopback: A logic high on the loopback LBK pin 5 of the SN55HVD233-SEP places the bus
output and bus input in a high-impedance state. The remaining circuit remains active and available
for driver-to-receiver loopback, self-diagnostic node functions without disturbing the bus.
CAN bus states: The CAN bus has two states during powered operation of the device:
dominant and recessive. A dominant bus state is when the bus is driven differentially,
corresponding to a logic low on the D and R pin. A recessive bus state is when the bus is biased to
VCC / 2 through the high-resistance internal input resistors
RIN of the receiver, corresponding to a logic high on the D and R pins (see
Bus States (Physical Bit Representation) and
Simplified Recessive Common Mode Bias and Receiver).
