7.2 Pin description
8. Functional description
The PCA82C251 is the interfac e between a CAN pro tocol contro ller and the p hysical bus.
It is primarily intended for applications up to 1 MBd in trucks and buses. The device
provides differential transmit capability to the bus and differential receive capability to the
CAN controller. It is fully compatible with the ISO 11898-24 V” standard.
A current-limiting circuit protects the transmitter output stage against short-circuits to
positive and negative battery voltage. Although power dissipation will increase as a result
of a short circuit fault condition, this feature will prevent destruction of the transmitter
output stage.
If the junction temperature exceeds approximately 160 C, the limiting current of both
transmitter outputs is decreased. Because the transmitter is responsible for most of the
power dissipated, this will result in reduced power dissipation and hence a lower chip
temperature. All other parts of the IC will remain operational. The thermal protection is
needed, in particular, when a bus line is short-circuited.
The CANH and CANL lines are also protected against electrical transients which may
occur in an automotive environment.
Pin 8 (Rs) allows three different modes of operation to be selected: High-speed, Slope
control and Standby.
For high-speed operation , the transmitter output transistors are simply switched on and off
as fast as possible. In this mode, no measures are taken to limit the rise and fall slopes. A
shielded cable is recommended to avoid RFI problems. High-speed mode is selected by
connecting pin 8 to ground.
Slope control mode allows the use of an unshielded twisted pair or a parallel pair of wires
as bus lines. To reduce RFI, the rise and fall slopes should be limited. The rise and fall
slopes can be programmed with a resistor connected from pin 8 to ground. The slope is
proportional to the current output at pin 8.
If a HIGH level is applied to pin 8, the circuit enters a low-current Standby mode. In this
mode, the transmitter is switched off and the receiver is switched to a low current. If
dominant bits are detected (differential bus voltage >0.9 V), RXD will be switched to a

LOW level. The microcontroller should react to this condition by switching the transceive r
back to normal op eration (via pin 8). Because the receiver is slower in Standb y mode, the
first message will be lost at higher bit rates.

dRth(vj-a), where Rth(j-a) is a
fixed value to be used for the calculation of Tvj. The rating for Tvj limits the allowable combinations of power dissipation (Pd) and ambient
temperature (Tamb).

14. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
14.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which pa ckages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
14.2 Wave and reflow soldering
W ave soldering is a joinin g technology in which the joint s are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
Through-hole components
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
14.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

NXP Semiconductors PCA82C251
CAN transceiver for 24 V systems
14.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
Lead-free ve rsus SnPb soldering; note th at a lead-free reflow process usua lly leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 11) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enoug h for the solder to make reliable solder joint s (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 9 and 10
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 11.
