The TIP810 is an IndustryPack® compatible module with a complete CAN bus interface using the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller. The Philips SJA1000 CAN controller is a stand-alone controller for the Controller Area Network (CAN) used within automotive and general industrial environments. It is the successor of the PCA82C200 CAN controller (Basic CAN) from Philips Semiconductors which was used on the TIP810-10 V1.0. Additionally, a new mode of operation (PeliCAN) is implemented on the SJA1000 which supports the CAN 2.0B protocol specification with several new features. The SJA1000 has the capability to transmit, receive and perform message filtering on standard and extended messages.

The TIP810 supports a 8 bit bus interface which permits byte accesses to the internal registers of the SJA1000 controller. The physical interface supports both, CAN high-speed (according to ISO11898) and modified RS485. Both physical interfaces are optically isolated from the CAN controller. An on board DC/DC converter supplies the isolated parts of the TIP810.
