ATA6560-GAQW-N from Microchip Tech, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 TXD input Transmit data input from the CAN protocol controller, and the device includes a TXD dominant time-out function.
2 GND power_in Ground supply for the transceiver.
3 VCC power_in Supply voltage pin, which is monitored by undervoltage detection on VCC.
4 RXD output Receive data output that reads out data from the bus lines, and RXD recessive clamping detection monitors this pin.
5 NSIL input Silent mode control input, active low (ATA6560 only; this pin is VIO on the ATA6561).
6 CANL bidirectional Low-level CAN bus line, short-circuit protected against GND or a positive supply voltage.
7 CANH bidirectional High-level CAN bus line, short-circuit protected against GND or a positive supply voltage.
8 STBY input Standby mode control input.
