TCAN1042-Q1: Why are TCAN series the 5V only?

Part Number: TCAN1042-Q1

Why are TCAN10xx-Q1 series the 5V only?

Our customer knows SN65HVD23x-Q1 series designed by 3.3V.
But they want to use TCAN10xx-Q1 series.
It have many melit to easy to use.
For example; High ESD Protection, High Bus Fault Protection, low web price etc...

  • Hello Hirata-san,

    There are some technical drawbacks to designing devices to accommodate multiple supply voltages, and so for these products we chose to develop optimized solutions for specific common voltages. We targeted TCAN10xx for 5-V applications since this aligns with a very large segment of the CAN market. We previously released the TCAN33x series of devices which is targeted for 3.3-V systems. That family does include the high ESD protection, although its bus fault protection range is more limited.

    Is there any more info you can provide to us about the application? (Is it automotive, industrial, etc.?) Do you think TCAN33x would be suitable?

  • Max-san,

    Thank you for your quickly reply.
    I understood your answer.

    Their application is automotive.
    So they need CAN Transceiver which qualified AEC-Q100.
    Will you plan to develop TCAN3xx series which qualified AEC-Q100?

    Best Regards,

  • Hirata-san,

    This is not in our immediate development plans, but I would be interested to hear more about the customer's application if there is any information you can share. If you would like to discuss more privately, please feel free to either send me a private message through the forum or email me directly (m-robertson at ti dot com).
