About this manual

The document introduces the PCA82C250 and PCA82C251 CAN transceivers, describing their role as the interface between a CAN controller and the physical bus. It outlines the three operating modes—high‑speed, slope‑control, and standby (prepare)—and discusses how each mode impacts bus performance and power consumption.

Detailed sections cover the slope‑control feature, calculations for conversion speed, and how the choice of external resistor (Rext) influences maximum bus length. The note also includes guidelines for bus termination, topology, and provides example calculations for both automotive and industrial applications. This manual is written in Chinese.
