8. Functional description
The PCA82C250 is the interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical bus.
It is primarily intended for high-speed automotive applications (up to 1 MBd). 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” standard.

A current limiting circuit protects the transmitter output stage against short-circuit to
positive and negative battery voltage. Although the power dissipation is increased during
this fault condition, this feature will prevent destruction of the transmitter output stage.

If the junction temperature exceeds a value of approximately 160 °C, the limiting current of
both transmitter outputs is decreased. Because the transmitter is responsible for the major
part of the power dissipation, this will result in reduced power dissipation and hence a
lower chip temperature. All other parts of the PCA82C250 will remain in operation. 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 slope.
Use of a shielded cable is recommended to avoid RFI problems. The High-speed mode is
selected by connecting pin 8 to ground.

For lower speeds or shorter bus length, an unshielded twisted pair or a parallel pair of
wires can be used for the bus. To reduce RFI, the rise and fall slope should be limited. The
rise and fall slope 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 transceiver
back to normal operation (via pin 8). Because the receiver is slow in Standby mode, the
first message will be lost.

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 packages 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

Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints 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

CAN controller interface

14.4 Reflow soldering

Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:

• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 13) 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 enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (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

Table 9. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C)

Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (°C)
Volume (mm3)
< 350 ≥ 350
< 2.5 235 220
≥ 2.5 220 220

Table 10. Lead-free process (from J-STD-020C)

Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (°C)
Volume (mm3)
< 350 350 to 2000 > 2000
< 1.6 260 260 260
1.6 to 2.5 260 250 245
> 2.5 250 245 245

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 13.
