TCAN4550-Q1: the difference between TCAN4550 and TCAN4550-Q1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCAN4550

Please tell me the difference between TCAN4550 and TCAN4550-Q1 in terms of both hardware and software.

Our customer  wants to use TCAN4550-Q1 for their products, but they can't get TCAN4550-Q1, so they evaluate with the available TCAN4550 and try to replace it when TCAN4550-Q1 is available.
Is it a problem to evaluate with TCAN4550 when finally using TCAN4550-Q1?

Regards

Kura

  • Kura,

    The difference between these two devices is merely the qualification program they go through. The Q1 indicates AEC-Q100 qualification which is meant for automotive applications. Otherwise, the hardware and software are the same between the two devices, and it's totally fine to evaluate the TCAN4550 before using the TCAN4550-Q1.
