TCAN4551-Q1: support CAN 2.0B ?

Part Number: TCAN4551-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN4550-Q1, TCAN4550EVM

Hi Team,

My customer is currently surveying the automotive CAN bus solutions, can you help to reply the following question from customer?

  1. Does TCAN4551-Q1 support CAN 2.0B ?
  2. TCAN4551-Q1 seems support SPI interface, does we have any MCU part number can suggest customer use together?
  3. Does we have any others reference design can provide to customer?  I found we have a Figure 106. in the datasheet already show the schematic it should be the good example to customer.

Thanks!

  • Kai,

    Thanks for bringing this to E2E and happy to hear that the customer is evaluating TCAN4550-Q1.

    1. Yes, the TCAN4550-Q1 does support CAN 2.0B.

    2. Any MCU with a SPI module will work. We have starter code that was generated using a MSP430 variant, but we don't necessarily only recommend that MCU. 

    3. The TCAN4550EVM is also a good reference, and so is the BOOSTXL CANFD board which combines the TCAN4550-Q1 with a LIN transceiver on a board that can plug into an MSP430 launchpad. All of these examples would be good for the customer to look at as an example. 

    Regards,
