ATA6564
The slope of the output signals on the bus lines is con-
trolled and optimized in a way that ensures the lowest
possible electromagnetic emission (EME).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
1.1
Operating Modes
Please note that the device cannot enter Normal mode
as long as TXD is at ground level.
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.
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.
1.1.1
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 trans-
ceiver 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 VVCC/2 and the
undervoltage monitoring of VCC is active.
