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 crosswire, 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<br />CAN bus used in satellite applications.
