SN65HVD234DR

Texas Instruments · CAN Controllers · SOIC-8

SN65HVD234DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. 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 D input CAN transmit data input (TXD, driver input). LOW drives the bus to a dominant state; HIGH lets the bus recess.
2 GND power_in Ground / reference return for the transceiver.
3 VCC power_in Transceiver 3.3-V supply voltage (nominal 3.3 V, absolute max 7 V).
4 R output CAN receive data output (RXD, receiver output). LOW for dominant bus state, HIGH for recessive bus state.
5 EN input Enable input pin (SN65HVD234). Logic HIGH enables normal mode (high speed or slope control); logic LOW places the device into ultra low-current sleep mode (typ. 50 nA).
6 CANL bidirectional Low-level CAN differential bus line. Withstands ±36 V bus fault and ±100 V transient (via 100 Ω), with ±16 kV HBM ESD protection.
7 CANH bidirectional High-level CAN differential bus line. Withstands ±36 V bus fault and ±100 V transient (via 100 Ω), with ±16 kV HBM ESD protection.
8 RS input Mode select pin. Strong pulldown to GND selects high-speed mode; strong pullup to VCC selects low-power standby mode; a 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ pulldown to GND selects slope control mode (≈15 V/µs at 10 kΩ, ≈2 V/µs at 100 kΩ).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn65hvd234dr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn65hvd234dr-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with SN65HVD234DR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 610 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (38 pp, sha256 79975b227bd3ba6f, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
