SN65LBC176D

SN65LBC176D is a Texas Instruments single‑channel CAN bus transceiver. It provides the physical layer between a CAN controller (for example, a MCP2515) and the CAN bus (CANH/CANL), translating controller TXD/RXD signals into differential bus voltages and handling bus signaling, fault protection, and fault reporting.
Key points:
- Supports CAN 2.0A/B framing; suitable for standard automotive/industrial CAN networks.
- Protects the device and bus with features like overcurrent/short‑circuit protection and ESD protection.
- Includes robust fault handling and wake/sleep options for low power or sleep modes.
- Designed to operate with typical CAN transceivers in mixed-signal microcontroller designs; compatible with common CAN controllers.
Usage:
- Drop‑in physical-layer interface in microcontroller CAN projects or automotive systems.
- Pair with a CAN controller to implement a complete CAN node.
For exact electrical specs (supply voltage, data rate, protection levels, pinout, packaging), consult the TI SN65LBC176D datasheet, as variants may differ.

SN65LBC176D is a 1 Mbps high‑speed CAN transceiver. Equivalents include:
