MAX33011E/12E/14E/15E
+5V, 5Mbps CAN Transceiver with ±65V Fault
Protection, Fault Detection and Reporting, ±25V
CMR, and ±45kV ESD Protection
General Description
Benefits and Features
The
MAX33011E/MAX33012E,
and
MAX33014E/
MAX33015E are a family of +5V control area network
(CAN) transceivers with integrated protection for industrial
applications. These devices have extended ±65V fault
protection on the CAN bus for equipment where overvoltage protection is required. The CAN family also incorporates high ±45kV ESD HBM protection and an input
common-mode range (CMR) of ±25V, exceeding the ISO
11898 specification of -2V to +7V, and well suited for applications where ground planes from different systems are
shifting relative to each other.
● Integrated Protection Increases Robustness
• ±65V Fault-Tolerant CANH and CANL
• ±45kV ESD HBM (Human Body Model)
• ±30kV IEC Air-Gap and ±12kV IEC Contact
• ±25V Extended Common-Mode Input Range (CMR)
• Transmitter Dominant Timeout Prevents Lockup
• Short-Circuit Protection Limits Driver Current
• Thermal Shutdown
This CAN family incorporates a fault-detection feature
where it monitors the CANH and CANL line for faults like
overcurrent, overvoltage, and transmission failure. When
a fault is detected, the FAULT pin goes high, which triggers an external interrupt with the local CAN controller,
and the driver and receiver lines are placed in recessive
mode. The system clock then drives the TXD pin and a
fault code is transmitted through the RXD line back to
the controller. When the specific fault code is transmitted and the system is programmed to alert local service
personnel, they are able to troubleshoot and debug the
problem quicker, providing valuable diagnostics and decreased equipment downtime. In addition, the family features a variety of options to address common CAN application requirements: low-current standby mode, slow slew
rate for improved EMI performance, silent-mode to disable
the transmitter, low level translation to interface with lowvoltage controllers, and loopback mode for remote self diagnostics.
These devices are specified for data rates up to 5Mbps.
The transceivers include a dominant timeout to prevent
bus lockup caused by controller error or by a fault on the
TXD input. When TXD remains in the dominant state (low)
for longer than tDOM, the driver is switched to the recessive state, releasing the bus.
The MAX33011E/MAX33012E are in a standard 8-pin
SOIC package and the MAX33014E/MAX33015E are in a
10-pin TDFN-EP package. This family of devices operates
over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

fault detection and fault reporting. They are designed for applications where expeditious troubleshooting is important
to increase the up time of important control systems, addressing common faults like overcurrent, overvoltage, and
transmission failure. These devices are ideal for harsh industrial applications with a number of integrated robust
protection feature set that improve the reliability of end equipment. These devices provide a link between the CAN
protocol controller and the physical wires of the bus lines in a CAN. They can be used for DeviceNet™, CAN Kingdom,
and CANOpen™ applications as well.
All CAN transceivers in the family are fault protected up to ±65V, making them suitable for applications where overvoltage
protection is required. These devices are rated up to a high ±45kV ESD of human body model (HBM), suitable for
protection during the manufacturing process, and even in the field where there is a human interface for installation
and maintenance. In addition, a common-mode voltage range of ±25V enables communication in noisy environments
where there are ground plane differences between different systems due to the close proximity of heavy equipment
machinery or operation from different transformers. Dominant timeout prevents the bus from being blocked by a hung-up
microcontroller, and the outputs CANH and CANL are short-circuit current-limited and protected against excessive power
dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs in a high-impedance state.
The MAX33011E/MAX33012E and MAX33014E/MAX33015E can operate up to 5Mbps. This family has the option to
slow the slew rate to 8V/μs to minimize EMI, enabling the use of unshielded-twisted or parallel cable. The MAX33011E/
MAX33012E are packaged in an industry-standard 8-pin SO, while the MAX33014E/MAX33015E are packaged in a
10-pin TDFN. This family of robust CAN transceivers has an operating temperature from -40°C to +125°C.
±65V Fault Protection
These devices feature ±65V of fault protection. The CANH and CANL data lines are capable of withstanding a short
from -65V to +65V. This extended overvoltage range makes it suitable for applications where accidental shorts to power
supply lines are possible due to human intervention.
Transmitter
The transmitter converts a single-ended input signal (TXD) from the local CAN controller to differential outputs for the bus
lines CANH and CANL. The truth table for the transmitter and receiver is provided in Table 1.

Transmitter Output Protection
This family of CAN transceivers protects the transmitter output stage against a short-circuit to a positive or negative
voltage by limiting the driver current. See the CANH and CANL short-circuit current TOC graphs. Thermal shutdown
further protects the devices from excessive temperatures that may result from a short. The transmitter returns to normal
operation once the short is removed.
Transmitter-Dominant Timeout
These devices feature a transmitter-dominant timeout (tDOM) that prevents erroneous CAN controllers from clamping the
bus to a dominant level by maintaining a continuous low TXD signal. When TXD remains in the dominant state (low)
for greater than tDOM, the transmitter is disabled, releasing the bus to a recessive state (Figure 4). After a dominant
timeout fault, the transmitter is re-enabled when receiving a rising edge at TXD. The transmitter-dominant timeout limits
the minimum possible data rate to 9kbps for standard CAN protocol.
Receiver
The receiver reads the differential input from the bus line CANH and CANL and transfers this data as a single-ended
output RXD to the CAN controller. It consists of a comparator that senses the difference VDIFF = (CANH-CANL), with
respect to an internal threshold of 0.7V. If VDIFF > 0.9V, a logic-low is present on RXD. If VDIFF < 0.5V, a logic-high
is present. The CANH and CANL common-mode range is ±25V in normal mode and ±12V in standby mode. RXD is a
logic-high when CANH and CANL are shorted or terminated and undriven.
Fault Detection and Reporting
This family of devices has fault detection for overcurrent, overvoltage, and transmission failure in normal mode operation.
The detection of faults and reporting them out to the local CAN controller provide additional information that benefits the
troubleshooting of a given problem in a CAN bus system, reducing down time, improving equipment efficiencies, and
keeping service costs down.
To enable fault detection upon power-up, 100 low-to-high transitions need to pass through TXD, which is typically 1 or
2 CAN frame messages depending on data payload size (classic or extended format) and which protocol is used. Fault
detection is not enabled in standby and silent mode. After the 100 low-to-high transitions on TXD, if a fault is detected,
then another 16 low-to-high transitions on TXD are required to shift out the fault code shown in Table 2. In addition, 10
more pulses are needed to clear the fault.

Overvoltage Detection
Overvoltage detection is triggered when CANH is above approximately +29V or CANL is below approximately -29V. This
indicates that the CAN bus has likely violated the CMR range or that a short fault on CANH and/or CANL has occurred
and is beyond the ±29V threshold. Once overvoltage detection is triggered, the FAULT pin transitions from low to high
and the fault code is clocked out of RXD through TXD.

Overcurrent Detection
Overcurrent detection is triggered when there is a high current path from VDD to GND through a short from CANH to
CANL. In addition, shorts far away from the CAN node may not be detected due to high cable impedance. See Figure
7 for overcurrent detection maximum operating frequency versus cable length as a reference. A Cat5e copper-clad
aluminum cable is used. The maximum frequency will vary with the type of cable.

Transmission Failure Detection
Transmission failure detection is triggered when the signal on RXD does not match TXD for 10 consecutive cycles after
fault detection is enabled. This can occur when both termination resistors are missing. Other scenarios include, but are
not limited to, shorting CANH to GND or CANL to VDD resulting in the differential signal not meeting the receiver’s VIH
and VIL specification.

Fault Reporting
When a fault occurs and the FAULT pin goes high, the CANH and CANL lines are placed in high impedance, and a 6-bit
fault code of the first detected fault condition is stored in an internal register. 16 low-to-high transitions need to go through
TXD to shift the fault code out through RXD.
An overcurrent fault timing diagram is shown in Figure 8.

Fault Clear
The fault condition can be cleared only after the 6-bit fault code is reported through the RXD pin of the chip. Soon after
the fault code is reported, send 10 clock pulses through the TXD pin, which deasserts the FAULT pin. The FAULT pin
cannot be cleared in standby or silent mode. Fault detection is disabled after fault is cleared and another 100 low-to-high
transitions are required on TXD to re-enable fault detection.
Standby Mode (MAX33012E, MAX33014E)
Drive the STBY pin high for standby mode, which switches the transmitter off and the receiver to a low current and lowspeed state. The supply current is reduced to 60μA during standby mode. The bus line is monitored by a low differential
comparator to detect and recognize a wakeup event on the bus line. Once the comparator detects a dominant bus level
longer than tWAKE, RXD is pulled low. Drive the STBY pin low for normal operation. Fault detection is disabled in standby
mode.
Slow Slew Rate Mode
Connect a 26.1kΩ resistor between ground and the STBY/S pin. This will put the device in slow slew rate mode where the
typical rising slew rate is 10V/s and the typical falling slew rate is 18V/s, enabling the use of unshielded-twisted or parallel
cable, compared with normal mode at 140V/μs falling and 180V/μs rising slew rate. The STBY pin voltage should be
between 0.2V to 0.6V to remain in slow slew rate mode. Slow slew rate mode is recommended for transmitter frequencies
which have a data rate that is less than 1Mbps.
Silent Mode (MAX33011E, MAX33015E)
Drive S high to place the device in silent mode. This disables the transmitter regardless of the voltage level at TXD.
However, RXD is still active and monitors activity on the bus line. Make sure that the FAULT pin is cleared before entering
into silent mode. Fault detection is disabled in silent mode.

Loopback Mode (MAX33014E, MAX33015E)
The LPBK pin enables the local CAN controller to perform self-diagnostics. A logic-high to LPBK places the transceiver in
a high impedance state to the bus. This allows data to pass internally from the driver to receiver in a loopback test mode
without disturbing the bus. When LPBK is connected to the ground, the transceiver operates in normal mode.
Logic Compatibility (MAX33014E, MAX33015E)
A separate input VL allows the devices to communicate with logic systems down to 1.62V while operating from a +5V
supply. This provides a reduced input voltage threshold to the TXD, STBY, S, and LPBK inputs, and provides a logic-high
output at RXD that is compatible with the microcontroller's supply rail. The logic compatibility eliminates an external logic
level translator and longer propagation delay. Connect VL to VDD to operate with +5V logic systems.

Applications Information
Reduced EMI and Reflections
In multidrop CAN applications, it is important to maintain a single linear bus of uniform impedance that is properly
terminated at each end. A star, ring, or tree configuration should never be used. Any deviation from the end-to-end wiring
scheme creates a stub. High-speed data edges on a stub can create reflections back down to the bus. These reflections
can cause data errors by eroding the noise margin of the system. Although stubs are unavoidable in a multidrop system,
care should be taken to keep these stubs as short as possible, especially when operating with high data rates.
