TITCAN332GDCNT

Overview

The TCAN332GDCNT is a 3.3V CAN transceiver capable of data rates up to 5Mbps, designed to interface a Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol controller with the physical bus. It is specifically optimized for applications requiring a single 3.3V supply, eliminating the need for a 5V rail often required by legacy CAN transceivers. The device features a wide common-mode range of +/-12V and integrated protection mechanisms like TXD dominant time-out and thermal shutdown.

Why Choose This Part

The TCAN332GDCNT simplifies system design by operating directly from a 3V to 3.6V supply while maintaining compatibility with ISO 11898-2 standards. Its compact SOT-23-8 package saves significant PCB space compared to traditional SOIC footprints, and its 5Mbps capability supports modern CAN FD data rates. The device also offers robust protection against bus faults and ESD, ensuring reliability in harsh electrical environments.

Applications

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use a 3.3V microcontroller with an integrated CAN controller and connect the TXD/RXD pins directly to the transceiver. Ensure a 120-ohm termination resistor is present at each end of the CAN bus. For prototyping, the TCAN332EVM evaluation module provides a ready-to-use platform to test signal integrity and power consumption.
