APPLICATION INFORMATION
Diagnostic Loopback
The loopback (LBK) function of the SN65HVD233 is enabled with a high-level input to pin 5. This forces the
driver into a recessive state and redirects the data (D) input at pin 1 to the received-data (R) output at pin 4. This
allows the host controller to input and read back a bit sequence to perform diagnostic routines without disturbing
the CAN bus. A typical CAN bus application is displayed in Figure 26.
If the LBK pin is not used, it may be tied to ground (GND). However, it is pulled low internally (defaults to a low-
level input) and may be left open if not in use.

Introduction
Many users value the low power consumption of operating CAN transceivers from a 3.3-V supply. However,
some are concerned about the interoperability with 5-V supplied transceivers on the same bus. This section
analyzes this situation to address those concerns.
Differential Signal
CAN is a differential bus where complementary signals are sent over two wires, and the voltage difference
between the two wires defines the logical state of the bus. The differential CAN receiver monitors this voltage
difference and outputs the bus state with a single-ended output signal.
