ATA6570-GNQW0 from Microchip, in a SOIC-14. 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 | TXD | input | Transmit data input from the host CAN controller. Drives the CANH/CANL differential bus driver; logic low forces the bus dominant. Includes a TXD dominant time-out to prevent permanent bus blocking. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Device ground. Common return for VS, VCC, VIO and the CAN bus driver. On the VDFN package the exposed thermal pad is internally connected to this pin. |
| 3 | VCC | power_in | 5 V supply for the integrated CAN transceiver output stage. Typically decoupled locally with a ceramic capacitor to GND. Undervoltage detection on VCC is provided. |
| 4 | RXD | output | Receive data output to the host CAN controller. Reports the bus state (dominant = low, recessive = high) and is referenced to VIO. Includes recessive-clamping detection. |
| 5 | VIO | power_in | Supply for the digital I/O level adapter, tied to the microcontroller's supply (3.3 V or 5 V). Sets the logic-high levels on TXD, RXD, SDI, SDO, SCK and NCS. Undervoltage detection on VIO is provided. |
| 6 | SDO | output | SPI serial data output (MISO). Data is shifted out on this pin to the host MCU during SPI transactions. High-impedance when NCS is de-asserted. |
| 7 | INH | output | High-side inhibit output for switching an external voltage regulator on/off. Sourced from VS; enabled in Standby/Normal mode and switched off in Sleep mode to power down the ECU. |
| 8 | SCK | input | SPI clock input from the host MCU. Supports SPI clock rates up to 4 MHz. Data on SDI is sampled and SDO is updated on the appropriate clock edges. |
| 9 | WAKE | input | High-voltage local wake-up input, referenced to VS. A rising or falling edge (per configuration) initiates a local wake-up event to bring the device out of Sleep or Standby mode. |
| 10 | VS | power_in | Battery supply input. Normally connected to the vehicle battery through a reverse-polarity diode. Operating range up to 28 V with 40 V DC/load-dump tolerance; undervoltage detection is implemented. |
| 11 | SDI | input | SPI serial data input (MOSI) from the host MCU. Carries command and register-write data clocked in by SCK while NCS is asserted low. |
| 12 | CANL | bidirectional | Low-level CAN bus line. Driven low in the dominant state and biased to roughly VCC/2 in the recessive state. Protected against shorts to GND/VCC and automotive transients per ISO 7637. |
| 13 | CANH | bidirectional | High-level CAN bus line. Driven high in the dominant state and biased to roughly VCC/2 in the recessive state. Protected against shorts to GND/VCC and automotive transients per ISO 7637. |
| 14 | NCS | input | Active-low SPI chip-select input. Framing signal that gates SPI transactions; SDO is driven only while NCS is low. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 664 faces against 237 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.
