Description

The LT1796CN8 is an electronic component model, specifically a CAN transceiver. It is designed to provide built-in fault tolerance, making it suitable for use in industrial and automotive environments. This transceiver does not require discrete protection devices and can withstand voltage faults up to ±60V without any damage to the device. It is also equipped with on-chip ESD protection, which can withstand up to ±15kV air discharges and ±8kV contact mode discharges. Additionally, the LT1796CN8 is not susceptible to damage caused by loss of power or ground connections.

Specifications and features

Some of the key features of the LT1796CN8 include:

• Protected from overvoltage line faults up to ±60V
• ESD protection to IEC-1000-4-2 Level 4, with ±15kV air gap test and ±8kV contact mode test
• ISO 11898 compatible
• High input impedance supports up to 256 nodes
• Controlled slew rates for EMI emissions control
