SN65HVD230 in TI SN65HVD CAN / RS-485 Family
The SN65HVD230 series by Texas Instruments is a family of 3.3V CAN transceivers designed for high-speed industrial and automotive communication. These devices bridge the controller area network (CAN) protocol controller and the physical differential bus, providing robust signaling in noisy environments. Engineered to work seamlessly with 3.3V microprocessors, they eliminate the need for level shifters while offering features like ESD protection and thermal shutdown for reliable performance in demanding distributed control systems.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The family consists of three primary variants optimized for power and speed. The SN65HVD230 includes a low-power standby mode, while the SN65HVD231 adds an ultra-low-power sleep mode for battery-critical applications. The SN65HVD232 is a basic high-speed version that lacks these power-down modes, intended for applications where the transceiver is permanently active or controlled via external power switching logic.
