TDA3: What does DCAN stand for?

It is a CAN IP name. Bosch names their CAN IPs as A_CAN, C_CAN, D_CAN, M_CAN, which can be licensed and built into a device.

Hi  Kenshow,

Additionally to what Ewald answered -  'D' comes from Dual-clock. An IP feature that has no need to advertise in TI SoC's  since most of modules are already dual-clock (or more) there.

Thus we leave DCAN and MCAN just to differentiate the both IPs.

kenshow ,

Yes, it's the CAN version D which support bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s. For TDA3x you have 2 DCANs in SR1.0 and 1 DCAN and 1 MCAN (up to 5 Mbit/s data rate) in SR2.0.

Thanks
