CTM8251KAT

VISOM · CAN Bus Modules · DIP-7

CTM8251KAT from VISOM, in a DIP-7. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC power_in Positive power supply input. 3.3VDC nominal (3.15-3.45V range) for the CTM8251KAT variant. Typical quiescent current 46 mA; maximum operating current 130 mA. Absolute maximum -0.7V to +5V.
2 GND power_in Logic-side ground (power input return). Reference for VCC, TXD, and RXD. Galvanically isolated from the CAN-bus-side ground (CANG).
3 TXD input CAN controller transmit-data input from the host MCU/CAN controller. 3.3V-compatible logic (VIH >= 0.7·VCC, VIL <= 0.3·VCC). Drive current 2 mA typical. Dominant-timeout Tto(dom) = 0.3-12 ms (1 ms typ).
4 RXD output CAN controller receive-data output to the host MCU/CAN controller. 3.3V push-pull logic level (VOH >= VCC-0.4, VOL <= 0.4V at IRXD=4 mA). Output current up to 10 mA.
6 CANH bidirectional CAN bus high line, ISO 11898-2 differential output/input. Dominant level 2.75-4.5V (3.5V typ); recessive level 2-3V (2.5V typ). Bus pin withstand voltage ±36V DC, transient ±100V.
7 CANL bidirectional CAN bus low line, ISO 11898-2 differential output/input. Dominant level 0.5-2.25V (1.5V typ); recessive level 2-3V (2.5V typ). Bus pin withstand voltage ±36V DC, transient ±100V.
8 CANG power_out Isolated (bus-side) power supply ground reference for the CAN-bus side of the module. Optional connection point for cable shield (single-point earth) in shielded twisted-pair installations. May be left floating if unused.
