SN65HVD230DRR in TI SN65HVD CAN / RS-485 Family
The SN65HVD230DRR series by Texas Instruments represents a family of 3.3V CAN transceivers designed for ISO 11898-2 standard serial communication. These components bridge the gap between low-voltage microcontrollers and the high-voltage differential bus signals required in controller area networks. Engineered for robustness, they operate with a single 3.3V supply, reducing the need for level shifters in modern embedded designs. The family is widely recognized for its reliability in electrically noisy environments and broad availability across global distributors.
Variants within this sub-family primarily differ in their power-down modes and slope control capabilities. For instance, the SN65HVD230 features a low-power standby mode, while the SN65HVD231 includes an ultra-low-power sleep mode for even greater energy savings. Additionally, the SN65HVD232 variant removes the standby functionality entirely for a simplified, lower-cost design. Package options typically include SOIC-8 and smaller form factors for space-constrained PCB layouts.
