FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating Modes
AMIS−42675 provides two modes of operation as
illustrated in Table 5. These modes are selectable through
Pin STB.

Normal Mode
Overtemperature Detection
In the normal mode, the transceiver is able to
communicate via the bus lines. The signals are transmitted
and received to the CAN controller via the Pins TxD and
RxD. The slopes on the bus lines outputs are optimized to
give extremely low EME.
A thermal protection circuit protects the IC from damage
by switching off the transmitter if the junction temperature
exceeds a value of approximately 160°C. Because the
transmitter dissipates most of the power, the power
dissipation and temperature of the IC is reduced. All other
IC functions continue to operate. The transmitter off−state
resets when Pin TxD goes high. The thermal protection
circuit is particularly needed when a bus line short circuits.
Standby Mode
In stand−by mode both the transmitter and receiver are
disabled and a very low−power differential receiver
monitors the bus lines for CAN bus activity. The bus lines
are terminated to ground and supply current is reduced to a
minimum, typically 10 mA. When a wake−up request is
detected by the low−power differential receiver, the signal
is first filtered and then verified as a valid wake signal after
High Communication Speed Range
The transceiver is primarily intended for industrial
applications. It allows very low baud rates needed for long
bus length applications. But also high speed communication
is possible up to 1 Mbit/s.

Fail Safe Features
A current−limiting circuit protects the transmitter output
stage from damage caused by accidental short circuit to
either positive or negative supply voltage, although power
dissipation increases during this fault condition.
