TCAN4550: Schematic review

Part Number: TCAN4550

Dear team

There is a good news that we design in  TCAN4550RGYRQ1 in customer's new project.

Could you help to review the schematic?

Many thanks

Denny

  • Denny,

    Thanks for bringing this to E2E and that's great to hear we got a design in.

    • Both power rails (VSUP and VIO) are correct configured, as well as VCCOUT and FLTR.
    • I see WAKE is tied VBAT through a resistor. This is okay, but the local wake function won't be available, and I want to verify that's the intention.
    • nINT needs an external pull-up unless the MCU pin nINT is connected to has an internal pull-up.
    • What is the reason for a pull-up and pull-down on RST pin?
    • GPIO1 and GPO2 are correct configured.
    • The CAN bus components are correct with the common-mode choke, correctly valued termination, and filter capacitors. If the customer expects any voltage transients or ESD events, I would recommend a TVS diode on the CAN bus as well. A typical device we recommend is PESD1CAN.
    • The crystal oscillator circuit looks correct, especially with the series resistors on both OSC1 and OSC2. What is the part number for the crystal?

  • Dear Eric

    Thanks for your feedback and suggestion, please check reply as follows and update schematic for attached file.

    I see WAKE is tied VBAT through a resistor. This is okay, but the local wake function won't be available, and I want to verify that's the intention.

    => Yes, the WAKE function should be not used, but we will reserve this function from your remind.

    nINT needs an external pull-up unless the MCU pin nINT is connected to has an internal pull-up.

    => OK, we had pull-up RES to SYS_3V3.

    What is the reason for a pull-up and pull-down on RST pin?

    => Pull-up is just reserve, default is mount pull-down.

        (N.M) is not mount.

    If the customer expects any voltage transients or ESD events, I would recommend a TVS diode on the CAN bus as well. A typical device we recommend is PESD1CAN.

    => Yes, We have already add TVS solution in schematic.

    What is the part number for the crystal?

    => Please check attached file about XTAL SPEC.

  • Hi Denny,

    Thanks for sharing the changes. These all look good and I don't have anything further to recommend or comment. Let us know if you have any more questions.
