CANH and CANL are protected against battery shortcircuits and electrical transients that can occur on the
CAN bus. This feature prevents destruction of the
transmitter output stage during such a fault condition.
The device is further protected excessive current
loading by thermal shutdown circuitry that disables the
output drivers when the junction temperature exceeds
a nominal limit of 165°C. All other parts of the chip
remain operational, and the chip temperature is lowered due to the decreased power dissipation in the
transmitter outputs. This protection is essential to
protect against bus line short-circuit-induced damage
