CAN Voltage levels on TMS320F28377



What is the voltage high, low, and standby levels for the CAN transmitter on the TMS320F28377X?

Is it standard digital I/O levels of 0 & 3.3 or does it use high, low, & standby of 0.8*3.3, 0.2*3.3, & 0.5*3.3V ?

Can I hook up an isolated CAN transciever to the CAN ports and use the TMS320F28377 as a CAN controller.

Thanks,

Jason

    Its Standard. 0V and 3.3V

    Yes, why not. You do need a transceiver, check this table:

  • 1. It is the standard digital I/O levels. A more precise answer would be: "The output level on CANTX pin would fall within the MIN & MAX spec for VOH & VOL as shown in the datasheet". i.e. it is not simply 0 & 3.3v, but within the (narrow) range as spec'd in the datasheet.

    2. Yes, you can use an isolated CAN transceiver. Note however that 28377x uses 3.3v I/O, so make sure that the signal presented to the CANRX pin does not exceed 3.3v. I am saying this because there are 5v CAN transceivers as well.
