General Description
The TH8053 is a fault tolerant CAN-Transceiver which works as an interface between the CAN protocol controller and the physical CAN bus. It is designed to connect up to 40 control nodes in passenger cars with an overall cable length of up to 80m enabling data trans-mission/reception rates up to 125 kBaud using unshielded bus wires.
