SN65HVD251DR – High-Speed CAN Transceiver with Short-Loop Delay (SOIC-8)

Description

The SN65HVD251DR is a high-performance CAN (Controller Area Network) transceiver designed to interface a CAN protocol controller with the physical differential bus. It is specifically optimized for high-speed data transmission up to 1 Mbps and features a minimal short-loop delay, which enhances the timing margin for bus arbitration and reliable communication in complex, multi-node networks.

This transceiver is fully compliant with the ISO 11898-2 standard and offers robust protection against common industrial electrical hazards. It features high immunity to electromagnetic interference and low electromagnetic emissions, ensuring stable communication performance in noisy environments. The SN65HVD251 also includes integrated thermal shutdown and current-limiting features to protect the device during bus faults. Its compact SOIC-8 (SMD) package makes it an excellent choice for modern, space-efficient industrial and automotive PCB designs.
