SN65HVD23: Driving Capability

Part Number: SN65HVD23


Dear Team,

 

I have a question for CAN transceiver SN65HVD23 series.

In the datasheet, we can find the current is 17mA (max) for dominant/ recessive mode.

But we also find output driver current is near to 35mA (If Vin=3.3V)

 

So, how much current capacity should we reserve for robust CAN communication?

  • Kevin,

    The power consumption of any CAN transceiver is specific to the application itself. If you go to this post, I've outlined how to calculate power consumption through a CAN transceiver given a few parameters that can be found in the datasheet, and ones that are specific to the application.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Regards,
