TCAN1042H-Q1: What is the advantage of 70V BUS FAULT PROTECTION

Part Number: TCAN1042H-Q1

I see that 58V BUS voltage is sufficient in ISO 11898-2:2016(E) standard. What is the advantage of "TCAN1042HDRQ1" integrated with 70V BUS voltage?

  • Hi Omer,

    As you can probably guess the 70V Bus fault protection is really only needed if your system where the CAN device is placed could see a 70V Bus fault. If your system couldn't possibly achieve this level of fault then it is probably overkill.

    We don't see a lot of customers using the 70V bus fault protection so in our newer CAN devices like the TCAN1044A (updated version of the TCAN1042) we only offer +/- 58V. If you don't need 70V bus fault protection then I recommend going with the TCAN1044A.

    Best,

    Chris
