TCAN4550: 5V Supply System

Part Number: TCAN4550

Hello,

Our system is using 5V as main voltage. We don't have 12 or 24V Vbat. Is there a way to use TCAN4550 with 5V supply without Vbat?

Thanks,

  • Hello Serhan,

    Unfortunately no, there is no way to use 5V directly with the TCAN4550-Q1 because there is an internal 5V LDO that requires at least 5.5V on VSUP.  There is not a way to bypass this internal LDO and directly supply an external 5V supply.  You would likely need to use a Boost Converter to generate a VSUP supply voltage greater than 5.5V to prevent the TCAN4550 from seeing an under-voltage condition and entering a protected operating mode.

    Regards,
