- Higher ESD protection (vs SN65HVD230)
Design Notes
Place the SR6G6C4 close to the CAN connector to minimize trace length and reduce EMI. Use a solid ground plane and ensure the bus lines (CANH and CANL) are routed as a differential pair with controlled impedance (typically 120 Ω). Add a common-mode choke and termination resistor (120 Ω) at both ends of the bus to minimize reflections.
Decouple the VCC pin with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the pin, and a 10 µF bulk capacitor for low-frequency noise. The VIO pin should be connected to the microcontroller's I/O supply voltage to ensure proper logic levels. Ensure the supply voltage is within the 4.5V to 5.5V range to avoid malfunction.
Do not forget to enable the silent mode (S pin) during network diagnostics to avoid bus conflicts. Ensure the slope control pin is properly configured for the desired data rate; for high-speed CAN, set it to the fast mode. Avoid exceeding the bus fault voltage of ±58V, as this can damage the transceiver. Always include proper ESD protection on the bus lines, even though the device has built-in ESD protection.
