SN65HVD256DR

Texas Instruments · CAN Transceivers · SOIC-8

SN65HVD256DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-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 CAN transmit data input accepting 0-0.8 V for dominant and 2-5.5 V for recessive bus states.
2 GND power_in Ground connection.
3 VCC power_in 5-V supply voltage with 4.5-5.5 V recommended operating range.
4 RXD output CAN receive data output providing LOW for dominant and HIGH for recessive bus states with ±2 mA output current.
5 VRXD power_in RXD output supply voltage with 2.8-5.5 V recommended operating range for SN65HVD256 level-shifting device.
6 CANL bidirectional Low-level CAN bus differential line with ±70 mA short-circuit current limiting.
7 CANH bidirectional High-level CAN bus differential line with ±70 mA short-circuit current limiting.
8 S input Mode select input with internal pulldown; LOW enables normal mode (transceiver active), HIGH enables silent mode (receiver only).
