Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
High-speed CAN transceiver providing differential transmit and receive interface between a CAN protocol controller and physical two-wire CAN bus. Supports up to 5 Mbps communication with ISO 11898-2/5 and SAE J2284 compliance, featuring standby mode with remote wake-up capability, ESD protection, and automotive-grade reliability. Suitable for automotive, industrial, aerospace, and medical applications requiring robust CAN FD-ready networks.
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.
