PRODUCTION DATA
The ISOW1044 is designed to be ideal passive or no load to the CAN bus if it is unpowered. The bus pins (CANH, CANL) have extremely low leakage currents when the device is unpowered to avoid loading down the bus which is critical if some nodes of the network are unpowered while the rest of the of network remains in operation.
The device has internal pull-ups on critical pins (TXD and STB) which places the device into known states if the pin floats. This internal bias should not be relied upon by design though, especially in noisy environments, but instead should be considered a failsafe protection feature. When a CAN controller supporting open drain outputs is used, an adequate external pull-up resistor must be used to ensure that the TXD output of the CAN controller maintains adequate bit timing to the input of the CAN transceiver. See Table 10-3 for more details.
