Philips PCA82C252 Fault-tolerant CAN Transceiver Datasheet
The Philips PCA82C252 is an integrated circuit designed as an interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical bus. It is primarily intended for low-speed applications in passenger cars, supporting baud rates up to 125 kBaud. The device features differential transmit and receive capabilities but includes a failure detector that automatically switches to single-wire transmission modes in the event of bus wire failures or corruption.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the maximum baud rate supported?
The device supports baud rates up to 125 kBaud.
From: Philips PCA82C252 Fault-tolerant CAN Transceiver Datasheet
Does the device support unshielded bus wires?
Yes, it supports unshielded bus wires due to built-in slope control function.

What causes no communication when CANH is shorted to VCC?
Only the TJA1054 tolerates a CANH‑to‑VCC short circuit; the PCA82C252 and TJA1053 do not support this condition.
From: Philips PCA82C252 / TJA1053 / TJA1054 / TJA1054A Application Note
How can I reduce current consumption in low‑power modes?
The TJA1054 operates down to 5 V and its low‑power current is about 30 µA, compared with 70 µA for the TJA1053, providing lower standby consumption.
