Adafruit 5708 CAN Pal CAN Bus Transceiver TJA1051T/3

The 5708 CAN Pal CAN Bus Transceiver - TJA1051T/3 is designed for systems that need a physical-layer interface for Controller Area Network (CAN) communication. The transceiver converts the CAN controller's transmit and receive signals into differential CAN bus signals on CANH and CANL.

The TJA1051 is part of NXP's high-speed CAN transceiver family and is designed for applications requiring good electromagnetic compatibility and robust operation. It also provides protection features including thermal protection, bus-pin ESD protection, undervoltage detection, and a TXD dominant time-out function.

Important Note

The TJA1051T/3 is a CAN physical-layer transceiver, not a complete CAN controller. A host microcontroller or other CAN controller is required to generate and process CAN protocol messages. The TJA1051T/3 itself provides the interface to the physical two-wire CAN bus.

Also, the 5 Mbit/s figure refers to timing capability in the CAN FD fast phase; actual network speed depends on the CAN controller, bus topology, wiring, termination, and other network parameters.
