TCAN1463-Q1: applicaion circut of CAN FD Transcevier

Part Number: TCAN1463-Q1

I will use 2 TJA1463 at onece on board.    Can I connect both INH(8) together if current load to GND is enough low?   Data sheet shows (Vsup - VIHN)<1V at 6mA load.   

  • Hi Eiji,

    When you say "enough low," do you mean a strong enough pull to GND such that it is greater than 6 mA?

    To answer part of your question directly: yes, multiple INH pins which share the same VBAT/VSUP level are able to be connected together. They operate in an open-drain (or high-side switch style) configuration. Thus, they'd be in parallel to GND.

    Generally, for pull-downs on INH, we recommend something like 100kΩ as a pull-down to GND to make the INH edges quicker. What sort of load are you looking to apply?

    Best,

  • Hi Danny,

    Thank you so quickly.
    I have 50kohm pull down.  no greater current load than 6mA.
    In this case, can I connect INHs together from TCAN1463-Q1 without external OR.

  • Eiji,

    From your description, yes, this should work fine. No need for an external logic device for this configuration. INH can only drive HIGH but cannot pull to GND; only the external 50kΩ pull-down resistor will do this.

    Best,

  • Thank you so much for your quick advices.
