CAN transceiver for field swaps and new builds
It's the part you reach for when a CAN node on a motor drive or outdoor controller goes silent and you need a swap that fits the same footprint without re-spinning the board. The 200 mV receiver hysteresis helps reject noise on long or electrically noisy bus runs, which is the usual case in factory-floor or vehicle installations. The E-suffix designates this extended temperature variant versus the I-suffix (-40°C to 85°C) — if your environment sees sustained heat above 85°C, the E/SN is the correct pick.
Active status, no end-of-life worry
RoHS compliance is ROHS3, which covers the ten restricted substances including the four phthalates. No exemption paperwork needed for EU-market equipment.
Pinout and orientation for field work
The 8-SOIC package has the standard 0.154-inch body width and 3.90 mm body width — fits the common SOIC-8 footprint. Orientation is unambiguous with pin 1 marked by a dot or notch on the package top. No hot-air station required; a standard soldering iron and a steady hand get it done on site.
