NRND22,565 in stock

Overview

The TCAN334GD is a 3.3-V CAN transceiver designed to support high-speed CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate) protocols up to 5 Mbps. It allows 3.3-V microcontrollers to interface directly with the CAN bus without the need for level shifters, while maintaining compatibility with 5-V CAN networks.

Why Choose This Part

Eliminates the cost and board space of level translation by operating from a single 3-V to 3.6-V supply. It provides robust protection with high receiver hysteresis of 120 mV and supports the increased bandwidth requirements of CAN FD up to 5 Mbps.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Reliable node communication in factory floor equipment and PLC systems.
Robotics Control
High-speed motor control and sensor feedback loops using CAN FD protocols.
Energy Infrastructure
Communication between solar inverters and battery management systems requiring 3.3-V logic.

Getting Started

Integrate into your PCB design using the standard 8-SOIC footprint and connect the TXD and RXD pins directly to your MCU's CAN controller. Evaluation can be performed using the TCAN33x EVM, which allows for testing signal integrity and propagation delays on the physical layer.
