L9616 is an automotive high speed CAN bus transceiver. This is a bidirectional transceiver for signal conditioning and processing in connection with a CAN controller. Data rates of up to 1Mbaud are supported using either shielded or non-shielded pair of lines. Transmitter features generation of differential output signals, short circuit protected from -5V to 36V, detection and shutdown, slope control to reduce RFI and EMI, two states adjustable slope control ( Mbaud / ≤1 ≤250Kbaud). Receiver features differential input with high interference suppression, common mode input voltage range (VCOM) from -2V to VS+3V. The L9616 is used as an interface between a CAN controller and the physical bus. The device provides transmitting capability to the CAN controller. The transmitter outputs C_H and C_L are protected against short circuits and electrical transients which may occur in an automotive environment.
