Dec 7, 2023 at 7:32 comment added Lundin @TimWilliams The very meaning of the well-established term "absolute maximum ratings" is that they are temporary stress values that the device may survive for a brief period of time, not something you should design normal use of the product after.
Dec 6, 2023 at 18:04 comment added Tim Williams I don't see any remarks in the datasheet that suggest the fault rating is not indefinite; if nothing else, thermal limiting should kick in, protecting it during current limiting. Not all "high voltage" transceivers share this; the more common case, I think, is internal TVS diodes with an assumed line resistance protecting the device from incoming surge voltage. The TCAN1051 seems to be the exception. But TI datasheets are notoriously mediocre, and it would be nice to see a more explicit statement on this.
