CANH and CANL are protected against battery shortcircuits and electrical transients that can occur on the

CAN bus. This feature prevents destruction of the

transmitter output stage during such a fault condition.

The device is further protected excessive current

loading by thermal shutdown circuitry that disables the

output drivers when the junction temperature exceeds

a nominal limit of 165°C. All other parts of the chip

remain operational, and the chip temperature is lowered due to the decreased power dissipation in the

transmitter outputs. This protection is essential to

protect against bus line short-circuit-induced damage-CANH and CANL are protected against battery shortcircuits and electrical transients that can occur on the
