TCAN1042DEVM: Hardware connections for project

Part Number: TCAN1042DEVM

Hi, I am trying to establish MCAN external loopback communication.
My setup includes a AM62A, connected to the TCAN, which is connected to a PCAN module, and the data can be viewed on PCAN view software.

The connections for TCAN EVM is as follows:

MCU_MCAN0_TX --> TXD JMP 2 on TCAN
MCU_MCAN0_RX --> RXD JMP 2 on TCAN
VCC (3.3 V) --> VCC JMP2 on TCAN
GND --> GND JMP2 on TCAN

TCAN specific:
JMP4 is shorted for termination
JMP5 is open
MODE pin on JMP1 is connected to PD
JMP6 has no connections

CANL on TCAN JMP7 -->CANL on PCAN
CANH on TCAN JMP7 -->CANH on PCAN
GND on TCAN JMP7 -->GND on PCAN

But the data transfer doesn't happen. Are the hardware connections correct or any other changes are required here?

Regards,
Aparna

  • Aparna,

    The VCC voltage needs to be at least 4.5V for the transceiver to function correctly, otherwise it will never pass the under voltage threshold and power on. Everything else is correct though.
