General Description
The ATA6564 is a high-speed CAN transceiver that
provides an interface between a controller area
network (CAN) protocol controller and the physical
two-wire CAN bus. The transceiver is designed for
high-speed (up to 5 Mbit/s) CAN applications in the
automotive industry, providing differential transmit and
receive capability to (a microcontroller with) a CAN
protocol controller.
It offers improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
and electrostatic discharge (ESD) performance, as well
as features such as:
• ideal passive behavior to the CAN bus when the
supply voltage is off
• direct interfacing to microcontrollers with supply
voltages from 3V to 5V
Two operating modes together with the dedicated
fail-safe features make the ATA6564 an excellent
choice for all types of high-speed CAN networks
especially in nodes which do not require a Standby
mode with wake-up capability via the bus.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
The ATA6564 is a stand-alone high-speed CAN
transceiver compliant with the ISO 11898-2, ISO
11898-2: 2016 and SAE J2962-2 CAN standards. It
provides very low current consumption in Silent mode.
1.1
Operating Modes
The ATA6564 supports two operating modes: Silent
and Normal. These modes can be selected via the S
pin. See
Figure 1-1
and
Table 1-1
for a description of
the operating modes.
FIGURE 1-1:
OPERATING MODES
1.1.1
NORMAL MODE
A low level on the S pin together with a high level on
pin TXD selects the Normal mode. In this mode the
transceiver is able to transmit and receive data via the
CANH and CANL bus lines (see
Section “Functional
Block Diagram”
). The output driver stage is active
and drives data from the TXD input to the CAN bus.
The high-speed comparator (HSC) converts the
analog data on the bus lines into digital data which is
output to pin RXD. The bus biasing is set to V
VCC
/2
and the undervoltage monitoring of VCC is active.
The slope of the output signals on the bus lines is
controlled and optimized in a way that guarantees the
lowest possible electromagnetic emission (EME).
To switch the device in normal operating mode, set the
S pin to low and the TXD pin to high (see
Table 1-1
and
Figure 1-2
). The S pin provides a pull-down
resistor to GND, thus ensuring a defined level if the pin
is open.
Please note that the device cannot enter Normal mode
as long as TXD is at ground level.

FIGURE 1-2:
SWITCHING FROM SILENT MODE TO NORMAL MODE
1.1.2
SILENT MODE
A high level on the S pin selects Silent mode. This
receive-only mode can be used to test the connection
of the bus medium. In Silent mode the ATA6564 can
still receive data from the bus, but the transmitter is
disabled and therefore no data can be sent to the CAN
bus. The bus pins are released to recessive state. All
other IC functions, including the high-speed compara-
tor (HSC), continue to operate as they do in Normal
mode. Silent mode can be used to prevent a faulty CAN
controller from disrupting all network communications.
1.2
Fail-safe Features
1.2.1
TXD DOMINANT TIME-OUT
FUNCTION
A TXD dominant time-out timer is started when the
TXD pin is set to LOW. If the LOW state on the TXD pin
persists for longer than t
to(dom)TXD
, the transmitter is
disabled, releasing the bus lines to recessive state.
This function prevents a hardware and/or software
application failure from driving the bus lines to a perma-
nent dominant state (blocking all network communica-
tions). The TXD dominant time-out timer is reset when
the TXD pin is set to high. If the low state on the TXD
pin was longer than t
to(dom)TXD
, then the TXD pin has
to be set to high longer 4 µs in order to reset the TXD
dominant time-out timer.
1.2.2
INTERNAL PULL-UP/PULL-DOWN
STRUCTURE AT THE TXD AND S
INPUT PINS
The TXD pin has an internal pull-up resistor to VIO and
the S pin an internal pull-down resistor to GND. This
ensures a safe, defined state in case one or all of these
pins are left floating.
1.2.3
UNDERVOLTAGE DETECTION ON
PINS VCC AND VIO
If V
VCC
or V
VIO
drop below their respective
undervoltage detection levels (V
uvd(VCC)
and V
uvd(VIO)
(see
Section , Electrical Characteristics
), the
transceiver switches off and disengages from the bus
until V
VCC
and V
VIO
have recovered. The logic state of
the S pin is ignored until the VCC voltage or the VIO
voltage has recovered.
1.2.4
OVERTEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
The output drivers are protected against
overtemperature conditions. If the junction temperature
exceeds the shutdown junction temperature, T
Jsd
, the
output drivers are disabled until the junction
temperature drops below T
Jsd
and pin TXD is at high
level again. This ensures that output driver oscillations
due to temperature drift are avoided.

FIGURE 1-3:
RELEASE OF TRANSMISSION AFTER OVERTEMPERATURE CONDITION
1.2.5
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION OF
THE BUS PINS
The CANH and CANL bus outputs are short-circuit pro-
tected, either against GND or a positive supply voltage.
A current-limiting circuit protects the transceiver
against damage. If the device is heating up due to a
continuous short on CANH or CANL, the internal
overtemperature protection switches off the bus
transmitter.
1.2.6
RXD RECESSIVE CLAMPING
This fail-safe feature prevents the controller from
sending data on the bus if its RXD line is clamped to
HIGH (e.g., recessive). That is, if the RXD pin cannot
signalize a dominant bus condition because it is e.g,
shorted to VCC, the transmitter within ATA6564 is
disabled to avoid possible data collisions on the bus. In
Normal and Silent mode, the device permanently com-
pares the state of the high-speed comparator (HSC)
with the state of the RXD pin. If the HSC indicates a
dominant bus state for more than t
RC_det
without the
RXD pin doing the same, a recessive clamping situa-
tion is detected and the device is forced into Silent
mode. This Fail-safe mode is released by either
entering Unpowered mode or if the RXD pin is showing
a dominant (e.g., LOW) level again.
