TCAN1043A-Q1: TCAN1043A-Q1

Part Number: TCAN1043A-Q1

Tool/software:

In a previous question it was suggested to use TCAN1044A as a CAN bus activity monitor in order to reduce complexity.
I like the suggestion. Can you review the pin connections to be sure I have this correct.

pin 1 TXD not being used connect to VCC
pin 2 GND connect to system ground
pin 3 VCC connect to 5V regulator ouput
pin 4 RXD connect to LED driver circuit (used to monitor bus activity)
pin 5 NC VIO connect to 5V
pin 6 CAN L connect to CAN L
pin 7 CAN H connect to CAN H
pin 8 STB connect to GND (want to put the IC in receive mode)

Thank you!

  • Hi Mike,

    Apologies for the slight delay as we were on holiday yesterday. 

    These pin connections are good. Just be aware that TCAN1044AV-Q1 (note the "V") has the VIO pin, which you likely already noticed. Ether version of the device will work just fine, I just wanted to point that out.

    Let us know if you have any further questions!
