Overview

The TCAN1042 is a high-speed CAN transceiver from Texas Instruments designed to meet the ISO 11898-2:2016 physical layer standard. It supports data rates up to 5Mbps for CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate) and provides a robust interface between a CAN controller and the physical bus lines. The device is engineered for reliability in harsh environments with integrated ESD protection and thermal shutdown.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers a wide supply range of 4.5V to 5.5V and includes a very low-power standby mode that consumes only 22uA. It features integrated thermal shutdown protection and robust ESD performance, making it a dependable choice for high-reliability industrial and automotive designs.

Applications

Automotive In-Vehicle Networking
Used in body electronics, gateways, and powertrain systems requiring reliable high-speed CAN FD communication.
Industrial Automation
Ideal for CANopen or DeviceNet applications in factory automation and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Heavy Machinery
Suitable for construction and agricultural equipment requiring wide operating temperatures from -55C to 125C.
