TCAN1044A-Q1: What is the difference between TCAN1044A-Q1 & TCAN1044V-Q1

Part Number: TCAN1044A-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN1044V-Q1, , TCAN1044V

Hi Team,

There is a good new that we could DIN TI product!

Customer is looking for the TCAN1044A-Q1 & TCAN1044V-Q1 ,

But I don't know where is the difference? Please help clarify THX

  • Hi Kygo,

    The 'A' version of TCAN1044 is qualified for European OEMs as it is capable of passing the Zwickau certification tests. If this certification is not requires, TCAN1044 (non-'A') may also be used. There is no difference in datasheet specifications between the 'A' and non-'A' versions. 

    The 'V' suffix demotes the internal level shifting feature of the device via the Vio pin. This feature is available for both 'A' and non-'A' devices. 

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Regards,

  • Hi Eric,

    Thank you so much!

    Two questions
    1. If the end customer is TOYOTA!
         Do you recommend using TCAN1044A?

    2.  Is our current main product is TCAN1044A or TCAN1044V?

  • Hi Kygo,

    I will send you an email offline with an answer regarding your first question.

    The 'V' version of these devices (TCAN1044V or TCAN1044AV) should be used if the internal logic-level shifting is required to support logic levels different from 5V. For applications which can used 5V digital logic, either the non-'V' versions or 'V' versions (with Vio connected to Vcc) can be used.
