Many CAN transceivers on the market today have a low output impedance when unpowered. This low impedance causes the device to sink any signal present on the bus and shuts down all data transmission. TI CAN transceivers have a high output impedance in powered and unpowered conditions and maintain the integrity of the bus any time power or ground is removed from the circuit.
