The PCA82C250 is a high-performance CAN controller interface that supports the ISO 11898 standard and has a maximum transmission speed of 1Mbit/s. The product has transient protection, EMI interference protection, short-circuit protection, low power consumption and other features, and is widely used in automotive and other high-end fields.
The PCA82C250 is a CAN controller interface that connects a CAN protocol controller to the physical bus. It provides differential transmit and receive capabilities, supports high‑speed operation up to 1 Mbaud, and is fully compatible with the ISO 11898 standard. The device includes protection against automotive transients, slope‑control for RFI reduction, low‑current standby mode, and can connect at least 110 nodes.
The datasheet details electrical characteristics, pin configuration, timing diagrams, thermal limits and ordering information for both DIP‑8 and SOT‑23 packages. It also contains application notes, safety warnings and contact information for Philips Semiconductors worldwide.
