SN65HVD232DR

Texas Instruments · CAN Controllers · SOIC-8

SN65HVD232DR 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 (also called TXD/driver input). LOW drives a dominant bus state; HIGH allows the bus to go recessive. Digital input rated -0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V.
2 GND power_in Ground / device return connection. All voltages referenced to this network ground terminal.
3 VCC power_in Transceiver 3.3 V supply voltage input. Absolute max 6 V; recommended operating from a single 3.3 V rail.
4 R output CAN receive data output (also called RXD/receiver output). LOW when the bus is dominant, HIGH when recessive. Output current rated ±11 mA.
5 NC unconnected No Connect on SN65HVD232. This pin is the Vref (VCC/2) output on the sibling SN65HVD230/231 devices but is unused on the SN65HVD232.
6 CANL bidirectional Low-level CAN bus line. Differential bus terminal; withstands -4 V to 16 V continuous and ±25 V transients (through 100 Ω). Common-mode operating range -2 V to 7 V.
7 CANH bidirectional High-level CAN bus line. Differential bus terminal; withstands -4 V to 16 V continuous and ±25 V transients (through 100 Ω). Common-mode operating range -2 V to 7 V.
8 NC unconnected No Connect on SN65HVD232. This pin is the RS mode-select input on the sibling SN65HVD230/231 devices; the SN65HVD232 has no standby/sleep or slope-control mode, so the pin is unused.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn65hvd232dr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn65hvd232dr-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with SN65HVD232DR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 623 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 (43 pp, sha256 e98fc0c59168c035, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
