Designed for operation in harsh environments, the
device features cross-wire, overvoltage and loss of
ground protection to ±36 V. Also featured are
overtemperature protection as well as –7-V to 12-V
common-mode range, and tolerance to transients of
±200 V. The transceiver interfaces the single-ended
CAN controller with the differential CAN bus found in
industrial, building automation, and automotive
applications.
Rs, pin 8, selects one of three different modes of
operation: high-speed, slope control, or low-power
mode. The high-speed mode of operation is selected
by connecting pin 8 to ground, allowing the
transmitter output transistors to switch as fast as
possible with no limitation on the rise and fall slope.
The rise and fall slope can be adjusted by connecting
a resistor to ground at pin 8; the slope is proportional
to the pin's output current. Slope control with an
external resistor value of 10 kΩ gives about 15-V / µs
slew rate; 100 kΩ gives about 2-V/µs slew rate.
If a high logic level is applied to the Rs pin 8, the
device enters a low-current standby mode where the
driver is switched off and the receiver remains active.
The local protocol controller returns the device to the
normal mode when it transmits to the bus.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The SNx5HVD251CAN bus transceiver is compatible with the ISO 11898-2 High Speed CAN (Controller Area
Network) physical layer standard. It is design to interface between the differential bus lines in controller area
network and the CAN protocol controller at data rates up to 1 Mbps.

8.3.1 Mode Control
RS, Pin 8, selects one of three possible modes of operation: high-speed, slope control, or low-power mode.
8.3.2 High-Speed Mode
The high-speed mode of operation can be selected by setting RS (Pin 8) low. High-speed allows the output to
switch as fast as possible with no internal limitations on the output rise and fall slopes. The CAN bus driver and
receiver are fully operational and the CAN communication is bi-directional. The driver is translating a digital input
on D to a differential output on CANH and CANL. The receiver is translating the differential signal from CANH
and CANL to a digital output on R.
8.3.3 Slope Control Mode
The rise and fall slope of the SNx5HVD251 driver output can be adjusted by connecting a resistor from Rs (Pin
8) to ground (GND), or to a low-level input voltage as shown in Figure 24. The slope of the driver output signal is
proportional to the pin's output current. This slope control is implemented with an external resistor value of 10 kΩ
to achieve a ~15-V/μs slew rate, and up to 100 kΩ to achieve a ~2.0-V/μs slew rate. Figure 8 shows a plot of
differential output transition time vs slope resistance from which the slew rate can be calculated.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.4 Low-Power Mode
If a high-level input (>0.75 VCC) is applied to RS (Pin 8), the circuit enters a low-current, listen only standby mode
during which the driver is switched off and the receiver remains active. If using this mode to save system power
while waiting for bus traffic, the local controller can monitor the R output pin for a falling edge which indicates that
a dominant signal was driven onto the CAN bus. The local controller can then drive the RS pin low to return to
slope control mode or high-speed mode.
NOTE
Silent mode may be used to implement babbling idiot protection, to ensure that the driver
does not disrupt the network during a local fault. Silent mode may also be used in
redundant systems to select or de-select the redundant transceiver (driver) when needed.

8.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
The SNx5HVD251 has a thermal shutdown feature that turns off the driver outputs when the junction
temperature nears 165°C. This shutdown prevents catastrophic failure from bus shorts, but does not protect the
circuit from possible damage. The user should strive to maintain recommended operating conditions and not
exceed absolute-maximum ratings at all times. If an SNx5HVD251 is subjected to many, or long-duration faults
that can put the device into thermal shutdown, it should be replaced.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

The CAN bus has two states during powered operation of the device; dominant and recessive. A dominant bus
state is when the bus is driven differentially, corresponding to a logic low on the D and R pin. A recessive bus
state is when the bus is biased to VCC/2 via the high-resistance internal resistors RIN and RID of the receiver,
corresponding to a logic high on the D and R pins. See Figure 26 and Figure 27.

The HVD251 CAN transceiver is typically used in applications with a host microprocessor or FPGA that includes
the link layer portion of the CAN protocol. The different nodes on the network are typically connected through the
use of a 120-Ω characteristic impedance twisted pair cable with termination on both ends of the bus.

Application Information (continued)
The basics of bus arbitration require that the receiver at the sending node designate the first bit as dominant or
recessive after the initial wave of the first bit of a message travels to the most remote node on a network and
back again. Typically, this sample is made at 75% of the bit width, and within this limitation, the maximum
allowable signal distortion in a CAN network is determined by network electrical parameters.
Factors to be considered in network design include the 5 ns/m propagation delay of typical twisted-pair bus
cable; signal amplitude loss due to the loss mechanisms of the cable; and the number, length, and spacing of
drop-lines (stubs) on a network. Under strict analysis, variations among the different oscillators in a system must
also be accounted for with adjustments in signaling rate and stub and bus length. Table 4 lists the maximum
signaling rates achieved with the HVD251 in high-speed mode with several bus lengths of category-5, shielded
twisted-pair (CAT 5 STP) cable.

The ISO 11898 standard specifies a maximum bus length of 40 meters and maximum stub length of 0.3 meters
with a maximum of 30 nodes. However, with careful design, users can have longer cables, longer stub lengths,
and many more nodes on a bus. (Note: Non-standard application may come with a trade-off in signaling rate.) A
bus with a large number of nodes requires a transceiver with high input impedance such as the HVD251.
The Standard specifies the interconnect to be a single twisted-pair cable (shielded or unshielded) with 120-Ω
characteristic impedance (Zo). Resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line terminate both ends of
the cable to prevent signal reflections. Unterminated drop-lines connect nodes to the bus and should be kept as
short as possible to minimize signal reflections.
Connectors, while not specified by the ISO 11898 standard, should have as little effect as possible on standard
operating parameters such as capacitive loading. Although unshielded cable is used in many applications, data
transmission circuits employing CAN transceivers are usually used in applications requiring a rugged
interconnection with a wide common-mode voltage range. Therefore, shielded cable is recommended in these
electronically harsh environments, and when coupled with the –2-V to 7-V common-mode range of tolerable
ground noise specified in the standard, helps to ensure data integrity. The HVD251 extends data integrity beyond
that of the standard with an extended –7-V to 12-V range of common-mode operation.

Figure 28. Typical CAN Differential Signal Eye-Pattern
An eye pattern is a useful tool for measuring overall signal quality. As displayed in Figure 28, the differential
signal changes logic states in two places on the display, producing an eye. Instead of viewing only one logic
crossing on the scope, an entire bit of data is brought into view. The resulting eye pattern includes all effects of
systemic and random distortion, and displays the time during which a signal may be considered valid.
The height of the eye above or below the receiver threshold voltage level at the sampling point is the noise
margin of the system. Jitter is typically measured at the differential voltage zero-crossing during the logic state
transition of a signal. Note that jitter present at the receiver threshold voltage level is considered by some to be a
more effective representation of the jitter at the input of a receiver.
As the sum of skew and noise increases, the eye closes and data is corrupted. Closing the width decreases the
time available for accurate sampling, and lowering the height enters the 900-mV or 500-mV threshold of a
receiver.
Different sources induce noise onto a signal. The more obvious noise sources are the components of a
transmission circuit themselves; the signal transmitter, traces & cables, connectors, and the receiver. Beyond
that, there is a termination dependency, cross-talk from clock traces and other proximity effects, VCC and ground
bounce, and electromagnetic interference from near-by electrical equipment.
The balanced receiver inputs of the HVD251 mitigate most sources of signal corruption, and when used with a
quality shielded twisted-pair cable, help meet data integrity.

9.2.1.1 Bus Loading, Length, and Number of Nodes
The ISO11898 Standard specifies up to 1-Mbps data rate, maximum bus length of 40 meters, maximum drop line
(stub) length of 0.3 meters and a maximum of 30 nodes. However, with careful network design, the system may
have longer cables, longer stub lengths, and many more nodes to a bus. Many CAN organizations and standards
have scaled the use of CAN for applications outside the original ISO11898 standard. They have made system
level trade-offs for data rate, cable length, and parasitic loading of the bus. Examples of some of these
specifications are ARINC825, CANopen, CAN Kingdom, DeviceNet and NMEA200.

SLLS545G – NOVEMBER 2002 – REVISED OCTOBER 2015
Typical Application (continued)
A high number of nodes requires a transceiver with high input impedance and wide common mode range such
as the SNx5HVD251 CAN transceiver. ISO11898-2 specifies the driver differential output with a 60-Ω load (two
120-Ω termination resistors in parallel) and the differential output must be greater than 1.5 V. The SNx5HVD251
devices are specified to meet the 1.5-V requirement with a 60-Ω load, and additionally specified with a differential
output voltage minimum of 1.2 V across a common mode range of –2 V to 7 V via a 330-Ω coupling network.
This network represents the bus loading of 120 SNx5HVD251 transceivers based on their minimum differential
input resistance of 40 kΩ. Therefore, the SNx5HVD251 supports up to 120 transceivers on a single bus segment
with margin to the 1.2-V minimum differential input voltage requirement at each node.
For CAN network design, margin must be given for signal loss across the system and cabling, parasitic loadings,
network imbalances, ground offsets and signal integrity thus a practical maximum number of nodes may be
lower. Bus length may also be extended beyond the original ISO 11898 standard of 40 meters by careful system
design and data rate tradeoffs. For example, CANopen network design guidelines allow the network to be up to 1
km with changes in the termination resistance, cabling, less than 64 nodes and significantly lowered data rate.
This flexibility in CAN network design is one of the key strengths of the various extensions and additional
standards that have been built on the original ISO 11898 CAN standard.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 CAN Termination
The ISO 11898 standard specifies the interconnect to be a twisted pair cable (shielded or unshielded) with 120-Ω
characteristic impedance (ZO ). Resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line should be used to
terminate both ends of the cable to prevent signal reflections. Unterminated drop lines (stubs) connecting nodes
to the bus should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal reflections. The termination may be on the
cable or in a node, but if nodes may be removed from the bus the termination must be carefully placed so that it
is not removed from the bus.
Termination is typically a 120-Ω resistor at each end of the bus. If filtering and stabilization of the common mode
voltage of the bus is desired, then split termination may be used (see Figure 30). Split termination utilizes two 60Ω resistors with a capacitor in the middle of these resistors to ground. Split termination improves the
electromagnetic emissions behavior of the network by eliminating fluctuations in the bus common mode voltages
at the start and end of message transmissions.
Care should be taken when determining the power ratings of the termination resistors. A typical worst case fault
condition is if the system power supply and ground were shorted across the termination resistance which would
result in much higher current through the termination resistance than the CAN transceiver's current limit.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.2.2 Loop Propagation Delay
Transceiver loop delay is a measure of the overall device propagation delay, consisting of the delay from the
driver input (D pin) to the differential outputs (CANH and CANL pins), plus the delay from the receiver inputs
(CANH and CANL) to its output pin.
A typical loop delay for the SNx5HVD251 transceiver is displayed in Figure 32. This loop delay will increase as
the slope of the driver output is slowed during slope control mode. This increased loop delay means that there is
a tradeoff between the total bus length able to be used and the driver's output slope used via the slope control
pin of the device. For example, the loop delay for a 10-kΩ resistor from the RS pin to ground is ~100 ns, and the
loop delay for a 100-kΩ resistor is ~500 ns. Therefore, if we use the following rule-of-thumb that the propagation
delay of typical twisted pair bus cable is 5 ns/m, we can calculate an approximate cable length trade-off between
normal high-speed mode and slope control mode with a 100-kΩ resistor. Using typical values, the loop delay for
a recessive to dominant bit with RS tied directly to ground is 60ns, and with a 100-kΩ resistor is 440 ns. At 5ns/m of propagation delay, which you have to count in both directions the difference is 38 meters (440 – 60)/(2 ×
5).
Another option to improving the electromagnetic emissions of the device besides slowing down the edge rates of
the driver in slope control mode is using quality shielded bus cabling.

9.3 System Example
9.3.1 ISO 11898 Compliance of HVD251 5-V CAN Bus Transceiver
9.3.1.1 Introduction
The SNx5HVD251 CAN transceiver is a 5-V CAN transceiver that meets or exceeds the specification of the ISO
11898 standard for applications employing a controller area network.
9.3.1.2 Differential Signal
CAN is a differential bus where complementary signals are sent over two wires and the voltage difference
between the two wires defines the logical state of the bus. The differential CAN receiver monitors this voltage
difference and outputs the bus state with a single ended logic level output signal.

System Example (continued)
Figure 33. Differential Output Waveform
The CAN driver creates the differential voltage between CANH and CANL in the dominant state. The dominant
differential output of the HVD251 is greater than 1.5 V and less than 3 V across a 60-Ω load as defined by the
ISO 11898 standard. Figure 33 shows CANH, CANL, and the differential dominant state level for the
SNx5HVD251.
A CAN receiver is required to output a recessive state when less than 500 mV of differential voltage exists on the
bus, and a dominant state when more than 900 mV of differential voltage exists on the bus. The CAN receiver
must do this with common-mode input voltages from –2 V to 7 V.
9.3.1.3 Common-Mode Signal
A common-mode signal is an average voltage of the two signal wires that the differential receiver rejects. The
common-mode signal comes from the CAN driver, ground noise, and coupled bus noise. Since the bias voltage
of the recessive state of the device is dependent on VCC, any noise present or variation of VCC will have an effect
on this bias voltage seen by the bus. The HVD251 CAN transceiver has the recessive bias voltage set to 0.5 ×
VCC to comply with the ISO 11898-2 CAN standard.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
To ensure reliable operation at all data rates and supply voltages, each supply should be decoupled with a 100nF ceramic capacitor located as close as possible to the VCC supply pins as possible. The TPS76350 is a linear
voltage regulator suitable for the 5-V supply rail.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
In order for the PCB design to be successful, start with design of the protection and filtering circuitry. Because
ESD and EFT transients have a wide frequency bandwidth from approximately 3-MHz to 3-GHz, high frequency
layout techniques must be applied during PCB design. On chip IEC ESD protection is good for laboratory and
portable equipment but is usually not sufficient for EFT and surge transients occurring in industrial environments.
Therefore robust and reliable bus node design requires the use of external transient protection devices at the bus
connectors. Placement at the connector also prevents these harsh transient events from propagating further into
the PCB and system.
Use VCC and ground planes to provide low inductance.
NOTE
High frequency current follows the path of least inductance and not the path of least
resistance.
Design the bus protection components in the direction of the signal path. Do not force the transient current to
divert from the signal path to reach the protection device.
An example placement of the Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) device indicated as D1 (either bi-directional
diode or varistor solution) and bus filter capacitors C5 and C7 are shown in Figure 34.
The bus transient protection and filtering components should be placed as close to the bus connector, J1, as
possible. This prevents transients, ESD and noise from penetrating onto the board and disturbing other devices.
Bus termination: Figure 31 shows split termination. This is where the termination is split into two resistors, R5
and R6, with the center or split tap of the termination connected to ground via capacitor C6. Split termination
provides common mode filtering for the bus. When termination is placed on the board instead of directly on the
bus, care must be taken to ensure the terminating node is not removed from the bus as this will cause signal
integrity issues if the bus is not properly terminated on both ends.
Bypass and bulk capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the supply pins of transceiver, examples
C2, C3 (VCC).
Use at least two vias for VCC and ground connections of bypass capacitors and protection devices to minimize
trace and via inductance.
To limit current of digital lines, serial resistors may be used. Examples are R1, R2, R3 and R4.
To filter noise on the digital IO lines, a capacitor may be used close to the input side of the IO as shown by C1
and C4.
Since the internal pull up and pull down biasing of the device is weak for floating pins, an external 1-kΩ to 10-kΩ
pullup or pulldown resistor should be used to bias the state of the pin more strongly against noise during
transient events.
Pin 1: If an open-drain host processor is used to drive the D pin of the device an external pullup resistor between
1 kΩ and 10 kΩ should be used to drive the recessive input state of the device.
Pin 5: is VREF output voltage reference, if used, this pin should be tied to the common mode point of the split
termination. If VREF is not used, the pin can be left floating.
Pin 8: is shown assuming the mode pin, RS, will be used. If the device will only be used in high-speed mode or
slope control mode, R3 is not needed and the pads of C4 could be used for the pulldown resistor to GND.
