Pin Descriptions

PINOUT DESCRIPTIONS
1.5.1
RECEIVE DATA OUTPUT (RXD)
The Receive Data Output pin is an open drain (OD)
output and follows the state of the LIN pin, except in
Power Down mode.
1.5.2
CS (CHIP SELECT)
This is the Chip Select Input pin. An internal pull-down
resistor will keep the CS pin low. This is done to ensure
that no disruptive data will be present on the bus while
the microcontroller is executing a Power-on Reset and
an I/O initialization sequence. The pin must detect a
high level to activate the transmitter. An internal Low-
Pass filter, with a typical time constant of 10 S,
prevents unwanted wake-up (or transition to Power
Down mode) on glitches.
If CS = 0 when the VBB supply is turned on, the device
goes to Ready mode as soon as internal voltages sta-
bilize, and stays there as long as the CS pin is held low
(0). In Ready mode, the receiver is on, and the LIN
transmitter driver is off.
If CS = 1 when the VBB supply is turned on, the device
will proceed to Operation mode, or TXOFF (refer to
Figure 1-2 – Figure 1-5), as soon as internal voltages
stabilize.
This pin may also be used as a local wake-up input
microcontroller I/O controlling the CS should be
converted to a high-impedance input allowing the
internal pull-down resistor to keep CS low. An external
switch, or other source, can then wake-up both the
transceiver and the microcontroller (if powered). Refer
operation of CS.
1.5.3
WAKE UP INPUT (WAKE)
This pin is only available on the MCP2003/2003A.
The WAKE pin has an internal 800K pull up to VBB. A
falling edge on the WAKE pin causes the device to
wake from Power-Down mode. Upon waking, the
MCP2003/3A will enter Ready mode.
1.5.4
FAULT/TXE
This pin is only available on the MCP2004/2004A. This
pin is bidirectional and allows disabling of the
transmitter, as well as fault reporting related to
disabling the transmitter. This pin is an open-drain
whenever this pin is low (‘0’), either from an internal

Note:
It is not recommended to tie CS high as
this can result in the device entering
