Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
High-speed CAN transceiver for automotive and industrial applications supporting ISO 11898-2/5 and SAE J2284 standards with communication speeds up to 5 Mbps. Features differential transmit/receive, standby mode with CAN bus wake-up, and VIO pin for 3.3V/5V microcontroller compatibility. Includes ESD protection, short-circuit/overtemperature protection, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive reliability.
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9×4.9mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
